Star Bulk Carriers' shr price reaches NEW 52-wk high of $25.72 intraday yesterday! Despite crash of BDI led by Capesize which this co. is not affected by.
The Baltic Exchange Dry Index advanced 13.4% to 1,940 on Thursday, its highest since January 12th, extending gains for a third straight session, amid strong demand across all vessels segments. The capesize index, which tracks iron ore and coal cargos of 150,000-tonnes, jumped 26.7% to 1,904. "Most of the prompt tonnage that has been heading towards the South Atlantic is now covered. This together with more fresh cargo has changed the sentiment and boosted the index. However, the most interesting this week has been the significant increase in period demand and the willingness to pay up. For the coming week it looks very promising.", shipbroker Fearnleys said, referring to the capesize segment. At the same time, the panamax index which tracks cargoes of about 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes of coal and grains, rose 8.4% to 2,333; The Panamax is now higher than its brief 2019 peak & in a strong rising trend.
Iron ore is up 53% from its Nov '21 low, Steel is up 20% fr its low while Coal is up 75% fr its low. Demand for Panamax & Handysize ships is gonna surge! Capesize will continue to capsize but fortunately....=)
There is still no clear sign of rebound of shipping market. Q4 result maybe will out next week? can expect positive net profit this quarter as all the indexes (BDI, Panamex & Handysize) during Q4 still above profitable level. maybe can expect 20mils net profit. But the Q1 of 2022 will be challenging. if remain current level or lower it may report net loss.
Since this company now became a cash rich company after sold the 2 ships, see what is the management planning for the cash. capital return or buy a new ship (possible Capasize as it may be cheap now)?

3.91c EPS not bad, despite BDI plunging to low levels for 2/3 of the 4th qtr. FY 19.25c EPS. Net cash 14.1c & net-net 7.1c vs HUGE debts from 2014-2020
No exceptional gains so operating profit was 31,895 mil. Fair value $1.30 if BDI continues to recover...Panamax now @ 2,596...higher than Nov, Dec & Feb lows(2,280;2,300 & 1,750 respectively) & @ the highest since Sep 2010.
The Baltic Exchange Dry Index advanced 4.5% to 2,244 on Wednesday, its highest level since January 10th, extending gains for a fourth straight session, supported by gains in rates across all its vessel segments. The capesize index, which tracks iron ore and coal cargos of 150,000-tonnes, jumped almost 9% to 2,192, its highest level since January 11th; and the panamax index which tracks cargoes of about 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes of coal and grains, increased 103 points to 2,699. Among smaller vessels, the supramax index went up 29 points to 2,388.
I warned you guys a year ago to dump Maybulk. Last year when I said I was underweight on Maybulk, lots of people gave a ton of criticism. Not every company founded by Robert Kuok is a good one. Kuok is a vampire in the market, won't share his profits with shareholders and this company is a sinking ship with so many vessel disposals
This stock has a high possibility of getting delisted. They are burning through cash every day. Keeps disposing vessels. Malaysia Bulk Carrier Berhad is a sinking ship
To those who still think MayBulk future focus will still be the dry bulk shipping biz, pls wake up. Robert Kuok has sold the controlling stake in Maybulk, new owner's biz apparently is the property development. Whether Robert Kuok will clear off all the remaining shares will be monitored closely.
