The strong Q1 beat and massive fleet expansion via the $482M VLCC acquisition with locked-in 5-year charters at premium rates signal significant earnings growth potential. Monitor delivery timelines for the 26 newbuildings through 2028 and the $4.1B contracted revenue backlog for visibility. The buyback program ($16.4M remaining) provides downside support.
