Eagle Bulk Shipping (Hold, TP: USD58.00) - Star Bulk shares potentially incoming

Eagle Bulk’s NAV has risen to ~USD79/share on strong vessel values and potentially solid Q4 cash flow, while the share price remains pegged to the takeover offer by Star Bulk. The transaction is estimated to net Eagle Bulk’s shareholders ~USD74/share of the potentially combined entity’s prorated NAV, or USD58/share based on the last closing price of Star Bulk shares. The possibility to unlock at least USD50m in annual cost and revenue synergies provides further upside potential, in our view. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY) but have raised our target price to USD58 (48).
