GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Knightsbridge Tankers was created for the purpose of acquisition, disposition, ownership, leasing and chartering of, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, five very large crude oil carriers. The company is an international tanker company and its primary business activity is the international seaborne transportation of crude oil. Its fleet consists of five double-hull VLCCs, one of which was built in 1996 and four of which were built in 1995. The company is participating in a pooling arrangement with Frontline Ltd., a Bermuda based tanker owner and operator. Each of the vessels are now owned by a new subsidiary and has been renamed and reflagged in the Marshall Islands and is currently deployed either on time charters or in the spot market, operating on routes between the Arabian Gulf and the Far East, Northern Europe, the Caribbean and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port.
