DHT Holdings, Inc. (ISIN MHY2065G1219) stock gained fresh analyst attention on September 18, 2026, after BTIG Research lifted its target to USD 28.00 from USD 23.00. MarketBeat says the new target implies 22.80 percent upside from the previous close.

Target rises above consensus

The same MarketBeat report also says BTIG kept a buy rating in place, while the broader analyst view stands at Moderate Buy with a USD 21.00 consensus target. The report lists DHT at a market capitalization of USD 3.67 billion, a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.29 and a 1-year range of USD 10.83 to USD 23.46.

Those figures matter because the stock opened at USD 22.80, already above the USD 21.00 consensus target and below the USD 28.00 BTIG view. The market cap and leverage numbers point to a balance sheet that remains part of the valuation debate.

Quarter ended August 5

According to MarketBeat, DHT last posted earnings on August 5, 2026, with EPS of USD 1.22 versus USD 1.18 expected. Revenue reached USD 254.96 million, up 174.8 percent year over year from USD 0.35 EPS in the same quarter last year.

The company also posted a net margin of 65.52 percent and return on equity of 39.40 percent in that quarter. For investors, that combination of a USD 1.22 earnings print and a USD 254.96 million revenue base is the clearest operating backdrop behind the latest target move.

Stock above the mean view

DHT stock was quoted at USD 22.80 at the open on September 18, 2026, with a 52-week low of USD 10.83 and a 52-week high of USD 23.46, according to the same report. The price sits close to the top of that band and above the USD 21.00 consensus target.
