Deutsche Bank analyst Amit Mehrotra upgraded Frontline Ltd. (NYSE: FRO) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $26.00 (from $17.00).

The analyst comments "We are increasing our price target for FRO shares to $26 based on recent tanker asset price appreciation and on shares trading at a premium to pro-forma NAV, assuming delivery of 24 recently-purchased VLCCs from EURN in the coming weeks. We assume FRO shares will trade at a premium to NAV based on historical performance, as well as on FRO's custom of paying ~80% of net income as a quarterly dividend. We are upgrading our rating from Hold to Buy based on ~20% potential upside to our price target and based on our estimate of a ~6.0% annual dividend yield for 2024 based on the recent closing price."
