We have updated our estimates, owing to the Q1 report and its updated contract backlog at healthy rates providing visibility on cash flows for the coming quarters. The market is still pricing Safe Bulkers at c50% of NAV, which screens at a noticeable discount to peers’ average P/NAV of ~0.8x. This, along with its contract portfolio, continues to provide relatively attractive exposure to the dry bulk segment, despite potential downside risk to demand on fundamental drivers in China (importer of ~...
Are the Lows "In" for this Pullback? While we are not yet out of the woods, we continue to see evidence that suggests the lows may be "in" for this pullback. Last week (4/23/24 Compass) we discussed the possibility that further downside was limited on the S&P 500 due to a multitude of reasons (SPX had simply filled 2/22/24 gap support that we had been discussing since late-February, Russell 2000 and Equal-Weighted S&P 500 were holding above key supports, short-term oversold conditions, subdued ...

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.
The market is pricing Safe Bulkers at a ~50% discount to NAV, which we believe mitigates any potential vessel value risk and leaves a still-favourable risk/reward towards the dry bulk supply-side narrative. However, we find the recent dry bulk freight market strength counter to fundamental demand drivers in China (importer of ~75% of seaborne iron ore volumes and ~50% of overall volumes), and see some market downside risk near-term. Still, at today’s share price, we see an attractive 17% earning...

We expect Star Bulk’s Q4–Q1 trading to deliver ~13% in run-rate earnings yield, which we believe underpins the current share price ahead of an expected earnings dip for the seasonally softer Q2–Q3, where we forecast an annualised earnings yield of ~4%. Hence, the risk/reward looks more balanced, but supported by the material NAV discount on strong ~15-year high vessel values. We reiterate our BUY and USD25 target price.
Safe Bulkers beat expectations, with a Q4 run-rate earnings yield of ~23%, aided by its ~50% discount to NAV boosting equity returns, which we believe highlights the favourable risk/reward. Despite our relatively cautious 2024 forecasts versus consensus, and decoupled earnings and values, in our view Safe Bulkers offers discounted exposure to dry bulk and the favourable supply-side therein. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to USD5.7 (5.3).

Our valuation is unaltered, and we reiterate our BUY and USD25 target price.
