On October 9, FRONTLINE PLC rose 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $55.73/share, with Turnover of $1.15 billion.
The primary catalyst was the announcement of a special dividend of $0.80 per share, payable September 28 to holders of record on September 18, underscoring strong cash flow and shareholder return commitment. Additionally, second-quarter results significantly exceeded expectations.

The combination of a generous special payout and robust operational performance provided a clear fundamental underpinning for the price advance.
