Our six-factor quantitative model, which ranks 7,333 publicly traded U.S. companies on quality, value, momentum, investment efficiency, financial stability, and short interest positioning, assigns TEEKAY TANKERS LTD. a Strong Buy rating with a composite score of 77/100 — placing it at rank #3 in the entire universe.
What makes this rating noteworthy is not any single exceptional factor, but the breadth of strength across the profile. TEEKAY TANKERS LTD.'s dominant factor is value at 97/100, followed closely by quality at 94/100. The one area of relative weakness is investment efficiency at 38/100, though this is more than compensated by strength elsewhere.
At $1.3 billion, TEEKAY TANKERS LTD. operates in the Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas, And Sanitary Services sector where it ranks 2nd out of 50 stocks — the 96th percentile among its peers. A dividend yield of 7.6% adds an income component to the total return thesis.
Six-Factor Scorecard
Our model evaluates every U.S. stock across six independently measured dimensions. Each score represents a percentile rank — a score of 80 means the stock ranks higher than 80 percent of all companies on that factor.
Key Financial Metrics
Quality Analysis
TEEKAY TANKERS LTD.'s quality score of 94/100 places it among the top profitability performers in the market. The quality factor evaluates margins, return on equity, return on assets, and earnings consistency — the fundamental building blocks of a durable business.
Return on equity of 24.4% exceeds the sector median of 12.0%. Gross margins of 67.0% reflect strong pricing power and competitive moats. Operating margins of 30.9% sit above the 15.0% sector average.
Net margins of 32.8% demonstrate that the company efficiently converts revenue into bottom-line profit.
Valuation Assessment
A value score of 97/100 puts TNK in the top 3 percent of all stocks on cheapness — suggesting the market is significantly underpricing the company's fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 3.3x, an EV/EBITDA of 1.7x, a price-to-book of 0.8x, a price-to-sales of 1.1x. Deep value scores like this historically correlate with above-average forward returns, though they can also reflect legitimate concerns about business quality that the value factor does not capture.
Momentum & Timing
TEEKAY TANKERS LTD.'s momentum score of 82/100 places it among the strongest trending stocks in the market. The stock has been outperforming roughly 82 percent of all other companies over the relevant measurement window. The academic literature, starting with Jegadeesh and Titman's seminal 1993 research, demonstrates that stocks with this kind of relative strength tend to continue outperforming for three to twelve months.
Revenue growth of -16.6% is declining, which makes the momentum signal more precarious. A beta of 0.42 means TEEKAY TANKERS LTD. moves with less volatility than the market, which can be attractive for risk-conscious investors.
Our entry timing model currently signals Neutral, which warrants caution despite the price trend.
Risk Factors
No investment comes without risks, and honest analysis requires flagging them clearly:
- Model limitations. Quantitative models measure what is measurable — financial ratios, price trends, leverage — but cannot capture qualitative factors like management quality, competitive positioning, or pending litigation. This analysis should be supplemented with fundamental due diligence.
- Market regime risk. Factor-based strategies perform differently across market regimes. The current factor exposures that support TEEKAY TANKERS LTD.'s rating may become headwinds if the macro environment shifts — for example, if interest rates move sharply or if sector rotation accelerates.
Bottom Line
TEEKAY TANKERS LTD. earns a Strong Buy rating with a composite score of 77/100 and 5 out of 5 stars, ranking #3 out of 7,333 stocks. The quantitative profile is among the strongest in the market — not because of any single factor, but because of consistent strength across multiple dimensions.
Stocks with this multi-factor profile have historically delivered above-average risk-adjusted returns over three to twelve month horizons. Whether that pattern holds for TNK specifically is, of course, uncertain — quantitative models identify probabilities, not certainties.
