Stolt-Nielsen ( (SOIEF) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Stolt-Nielsen reported a fourth-quarter 2025 net profit of $59.6 million on revenue of $680.6 million, down from $91.4 million and $709.4 million a year earlier, while full-year 2025 net profit fell to $350.2 million on $2.77 billion in revenue from $394.8 million on $2.89 billion in 2024. Consolidated quarterly EBITDA declined to $186.0 million and earnings per share to $1.12, reflecting weaker freight rates and higher costs across its main divisions, even as the company remained within the upper end of its earnings guidance. Stolt Tankers’ operating profit dropped sharply amid a 19% fall in average time-charter equivalent earnings, Stolthaven Terminals saw lower profit despite stable utilisation in a sluggish chemical market, and Stolt Tank Containers faced margin pressure from intensifying competition, while smaller units, including Stolt Sea Farm and Stolt-Nielsen Gas, improved their combined operating result. Strategically, the group strengthened its position in liquid logistics by acquiring UK-based ISO tank operator Suttons International, adding 11,000 tanks to its fleet, and signalled a planned partial sell-down of its stake in Avenir LNG to support that business’s growth, moves that underscore a focus on scale, productivity and portfolio optimisation in a volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (SOIEF) stock is a Hold with a NOK370.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Stolt-Nielsen stock, see the SOIEF Stock Forecast page.
