CMB.TECH: Valuation Implies Mid-Cycle - Reality Looks Stronger

CMB.TECH is now a highly leveraged play on freight rates, with over 80% spot exposure post-merger and tripled operating scale. Reported EPS is distorted by one-off Golden Ocean deal costs; normalized earnings and EBITDA provide a clearer view of CMBT's true earnings power. CMBT's valuation and investment case hinge on freight rate sensitivity, with current market cap implying mid-to-high cycle TCE rates ($35k–45k/day).
