CMB.TECH NV experienced a price increase of 6.71%, reaching a 20-day high amid mixed market conditions, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.59% and the S&P 500 slightly up by 0.02%.
This surge is attributed to CMB.TECH's successful sale of eight vessels, generating an estimated capital gain of approximately $269.2 million. The sale includes six VLCCs expected to yield around $261.1 million, aligning with the company's strategic goal of fleet rejuvenation. Additionally, the sale of two Capesize vessels is projected to generate $8.1 million, further improving liquidity and reducing debt obligations.
The implications of this sale are significant, as CMB.TECH plans to allocate 50% of the profits to repay existing debt, reflecting its commitment to prudent financial management and enhancing shareholder returns.
