Why Knightsbridge Tankers Limited (VLCCF) Has A Bright Short-Term Future? - Tale of the Tape

One company that should be on your radar is Knightsbridge Tankers Limited VLCCF. The stock of this Bermuda based shipping company has seen its Zacks Rank surge over the past four weeks, moving from Hold territory to its current position as a Strong Buy.

A key reason for this move has been the positive trend in the earnings estimate revisions picture. For VLCCF's full year estimate, we have seen 2 estimates go higher in the past 30 days, compared to no estimate moving lower. This trend has helped the consensus estimate to trend higher, going from 33 cents a share a month ago to its current level at 60 cents.

This positive shift in estimates has made some investors take notice and buy the stock. In fact, VLCCF has seen some pretty solid trading lately, as the company has moved higher by 44.65% in the past month.

If Knightsbridge can keep up this great momentum on the earnings estimate front and continue to impress analysts, we could see more gains ahead for this company, suggesting that you might want to put VLCCF on your watch list for the future.
