Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2025 earnings results on Sept. 10, before market open.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TEN’s soon-to-be-reported quarter’s earnings is down 53.2% year over year to 59 cents per share.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters (missing the mark on the other occasion). The average beat is 46.7%.

Against this backdrop, let us take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s June-quarter performance.

We expect TEN’s results to be hurt by high operating expenses, mainly due to elevated vessel operating costs. Economic uncertainty due to tariff-related woes is also likely to have dented the company’s performance.

Time charter equivalent earnings, despite the market fluctuations, are expected to be around $30,000 per ship per day in the to-be-reported quarter. The southward movement of oil prices is anticipated to have aided the bottom-line performance in the June quarter. Crude oil has been struggling in 2025, with prices sliding to multi-month lows.

Tariff concerns, weakening consumer confidence and production increase by OPEC+ are expected to have contributed to this downward pressure. Oil price declined 6% in the April-June period. The maintenance of a young and diversified fleet is also expected to aid results. The average fleet utilization is likely to have been high in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
