Pacific Basin - Recent fall in stock prices offers opportunity to buy

In the last 12 months, Pacific Basin’s stock price fell by 26.6%, but we believe there is significant upside, especially considering our positive outlook on Supramax and Handysize vessels. Trade of minor bulk and coking coal will continue to rise in addition to the projected strengthening of demand for wood chips and wood pellets as alternative energy sources. A surge in soybean imports in China to feed the increasing hog population will keep Supramaxes busy. These coupled with limited fleet growth of both vessel segments will support their earnings. We believe rates will remain above breakeven over the next three years, highlighting the potential for generating profitability and cash inflows which will support the uptrend in stock prices and create shareholder value. As a result, we remain bullish on the company’s prospects.
