The case for and against

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Bull case

SFL Corp is a strong player in the maritime industry with a focused approach on asset ownership and long-term contracts, providing stable cash flow. With a strong backlog and a diverse portfolio, the company is well-positioned to generate consistent shareholder returns through dividends. Risks include potential asset devaluations and counterparty risk, but with a focus on maintaining balance sheet flexibility and seeking attractive growth opportunities, the company is equipped to navigate them. Overall, a positive outlook is supported by an improving tanker and rig market and potential price appreciation.

Bear case

SFL Corp is facing a challenging market for its core businesses, which include transporting crude oil and oil products, dry bulk and containerized cargoes, and offshore drilling. Despite a solid dividend yield and strong cash position, the company may struggle to increase shareholder returns in the short term due to limited growth opportunities and a high payout ratio. Additionally, an improving rate market for its tanker and rig assets may not be enough to offset these challenges.
