Frequently asked
What is International Seaways's fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $634.78 per share for INSW, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $476.08. At today's $112.63, that puts the stock about 463.6% below estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Is International Seaways a high-quality business?+
International Seaways scores 91 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a high-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 64.2% operating margin and a 23.1% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Does International Seaways (INSW) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, International Seaways pays a regular dividend of about $8.27 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 7.4% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 52.9% of earnings, so the dividend is well covered. International Seaways has grown the dividend at roughly 37.1% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For INSW's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
Is International Seaways a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. INSW currently trades below its estimated intrinsic value and scores 91/100 on quality (high-quality). It also yields about 7.4%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
