Algoma Central Lifts 2025 Earnings on Fleet Growth and One-Time Joint Venture Gain

Algoma Central ( (TSE:ALC) ) has issued an announcement.

Algoma Central Corporation reported stronger financial results for 2025, with revenue rising to $761.1 million and net earnings increasing 56% to $143.0 million, boosted by a one-time gain from the sale of an interest in a cement carrier joint venture. Excluding this and a prior-year impairment reversal, underlying earnings declined modestly as higher operating and administrative costs and increased dry-dockings weighed on performance.

The Domestic Dry-Bulk and Product Tankers segments delivered solid growth, driven by higher iron ore, salt and grain volumes and a larger tanker fleet, while Ocean Self-Unloaders saw lower revenue days and a sharp drop in operating earnings due to more planned dry-dockings. Algoma expanded its fleet with eight new vessels in 2025, reached 100 ships globally and has twelve more under construction, positioning the company for continued growth even as it anticipates softer iron ore volumes in 2026 amid U.S. steel tariffs, with salt and grain demand expected to remain resilient.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ALC) stock is a Buy with a C$22.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Algoma Central stock, see the TSE:ALC Stock Forecast page.
