Is DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating DHT Holdings, Inc. at current levels.
VLCC supercycle has another two years to run, and the market is still pricing DHT like the bottom of the cycle.
Where DHT is headed
Picture the VLCC market in late 2027. The orderbook-to-fleet ratio is still under 12%, shipyard slots for new tankers don't free up until 2028 at the earliest, and roughly 30% of the global fleet is over 15 years old and being squeezed out of mainstream charters by tightening emissions rules. DHT's 22 VLCCs, average age around 10 years, are earning $55,000-$70,000 per day on the spot market while the company pays out roughly 100% of net income as variable dividends. That math, on a fleet this size, gets you to $4-5 per share in annual distributions against a stock that today trades at $17.40.
