Current Report: International Seaways May Grow 20.60% Next Year

International Seaways Inc. (INSW) was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in New York, NY.

The company transports crude oil and petroleum products worldwide.

Three key data points gauge INSW (or any dividend-paying entity):

(1) Price 

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

INSW Price

International Seaways’ single share price rose $80.90 or 286% in the past year, from $43.50 to $124.40 per Monday’s opening market report.

Six analysts cover the stock. The median of their one-year target estimates showed no price gain ahead.

However, INSW’s past ten years' price progression from $16.00 to $124.54 shows an average annual gain of about $10.85 as a prediction for the coming year’s returns. I’ll use half that number (or $5.43) to calculate returns after I discuss INSW dividends.

INSW Dividends

International Seaways has paid highly variable Quarterly dividends since March 2020.

The most recent Q dividend of $5.05 was paid September 24th, 2026 (to shareholders of record September 10th), yielding $20.20 or 16.86% annually (per Monday’s opening market report)  

INSW Returns

Putting it all together, as of October 12th, a possible International Seaways net gain of $25.63 was projected. 

To get there, our $5.43 per share calculated annual price gain was added to the $20.20 presumed forward-looking annual dividend to make that $25.63 gross gain. 

A little over $1000 invested in International Seaways at Monday’s $124.40 opening share price would buy 8 shares, which multiply the hypothetical $25.63 gross gain to $206.03 for the coming year, or 20.6%.

By the way, my dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a dividend stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of one share.

International Seaways’ projected annual dividend from $1K invested is $168.60, and that annual dividend proves to be over 1.35 times more than its recent $124.40 single-share price. 

The exact track of International Seaways Inc’s future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.     

Remember, the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
