We still see downward pressure on rates and asset values due to the imbalance between China’s underlying raw materials demand and its imports. On our 2025e spot rates and historical valuation multiples, we see 23% downside risk to current 5-year-old Capesize values, and even more for its Supramaxes. Still, we find the share price should be covered even in the event of a 25% drop in asset values. Hence, we have upgraded to HOLD (SELL) and raised our target price to USD20.2 (19.3).

We remain concerned about material headwinds for dry bulk demand in the coming months, while asset values at 15-year highs continue to underpin elevated NAVs despite a less-than-impressive freight market. However, Star Bulk’s recent share price weakness now values it at a considerable 35% discount to NAV, removing much of the downside risk, in our view. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to USD21 (26.4).

The dry bulk freight markets remain strong into the high season as Chinese import demand is unfettered by the dodgy macroeconomic backdrop. However, we believe significant downside risks outweigh the potential, and remain cautious on the sector. We reiterate our HOLD and have tweaked our target price to USD26.4 (26.3).
Mixed Signals, Reasons for Caution The S&P 500 uptrend remains intact, and the same can be said for the QQQ's. Despite a positive view of these two metrics, the aspect of of failed U.S. dollar breakdown coupled with the reversal. of the 10-year yields higher does give us pause. The S&P 500 breadth is showing signs of breadth divergence. 1.) The U.S. dollar has staged a false breakdown and is now on the cusp of a reversal. A decisive close through last Friday's close of 104.89 could yet negate t...
After Star Bulk’s merger with Eagle Bulk (which closed on 9 April), we have included the Eagle Bulk fleet in our model, leading us to raise our estimates, but lower our average rates, with the mix shifting considerably towards smaller vessels. We see fundamental downside risk to surprisingly strong dry bulk markets medium-term, outweighing the upside potential. We reiterate our HOLD but have lowered our target price to USD26.3 (27).

New All-Time Highs Validates Our Bullish Outlook We continue to view the latest pullback to the 100-day MA on the S&P 500 as healthy and normal within the ongoing bull market, and our bullish outlook (since early-November 2023) remains intact.

Major Risk-On Developments; Bullish Outlook Intact Over the past two weeks we have discussed the possibility that further downside was limited (4/23/24 Compass) and the mounting evidence that suggests the lows may be in for this pullback (4/30/24 Compass). Major risk-on developments for the broad equity market have continued to roll in over the past week, which we discuss below. As a result, we continue to believe the lows are in for this pullback, and we see the pullback to the 100-day MA on t...
We have raised our near-term estimates on current market strength. However, fundamental Chinese import demand continues to be in question, while we believe the elevated asset values and improved P/NAV create a precarious situation for the months ahead. Hence, we see a deteriorating risk/reward and remain materially below consensus for 2025e. We have downgraded to HOLD (BUY), but raised our target price to USD27.0 (25.0) on recent market tailwinds.
Our trip to South Korea and China revealed Chinese shipbuilders are seeking growth to take on Korea’s established yards who are facing constraints. An eagerness to add capacity is one of our takeaways, as well as a gloomy outlook for Chinese real estate, which in our view should inevitably weigh on dry bulk demand.
