Over on CAPS, fully 354 of the 369 All-Star members who have rated Frontline -- some 95% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These All-Star bulls include ronaldjefferson and mevanzzz, both of whom are ranked in the top 10% of our community.

In March, ronaldjefferson noted that, "With 17% yield, full double-hull fleet, and rates only going up, FRO continues to produce high dividends and increased margins. Sure the share price fluctuates a little, but the constancy of the dividend when stock is held for the qualifying period makes it too good to pass up."

A more recent pitch from mevanzzz in May shared that bullish sentiment, emphasizing Frontline's "front-of-the-line" positioning:

Energy commodities (crude oil, coal, etc.) are in huge demand despite escalating price inflation. ... The transporters of these goods, like Frontline, will have significant pricing power as long as internatioinal freight capacity remains constrained. While capacity is likely to increase as we go forward, the lead times on the ships that transport crude oil are l-o-n-g. Frontline has a substantial fleet that should benefit from increased intl trade in crude oil. Their strong balance sheet also positions them well to grow their fleet to serve the increasing international demand for crude oil and coal products.
