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.

Our 17th Annual Energy & Shipping Conference was well attended by investors and industry executives showcasing the still-growing interest for the sectors. Limited yard capacity is fuelling high newbuilding prices and raising freight rate expectations for the vast fleet renewal necessary in the coming decade. Long lead times underpin a bullish supply story for much of shipping in the coming years, albeit exposed to geopolitical risks affecting trade patterns. Our overall impression was general op...
Star Bulk Carriers Corp. Announces Change Of Transfer Agent And Registrar ATHENS, Greece, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Bulk Carriers Corp.

While opex fell sharply in 2023 and YOY in Q4, and management maintained the timeline for its BGBC016 study, we remain concerned about a lack of major share-price catalysts ahead of the next needed capital raise. We reiterate our SELL and NOK0.05 target price.
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.
Star Bulk Carriers Corp. Reports Net Profit of $39.7 Million for the Fourth Quarter of 2023, and Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.45 Per Share ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Bulk Carriers Corp.

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this press release to "we," "us," "our," or similar references, mean S...
We have cut our Q4 estimates after a modelling change to better reflect the guidance and revenue timing against the latest freight rate movements. We have lowered our 2023e adj. EBITDA by 7%, while 2024–2025e are largely unchanged. This leaves us 8% above Bloomberg consensus adj. EBITDA for Q4 and still considerably above (40%) for Q1. Our valuation is unaltered, and we reiterate our BUY and USD25 target price.

Star Bulk is flexing its muscles at a time when rates, fuel spreads, and vessel values are all pointing in a positive direction. Following its favourably timed and highly accretive 20m share buybacks, our NAV has risen to ~USD29/share. In our view, this leaves substantial headroom for investors to add discounted dry bulk exposure to a top-tier owner, which, on a relatively modest rate outlook, looks set to generate healthy returns from its premium-earning vessels and low cost base. We reiterate ...
Star Bulk, together with Eagle Bulk, yesterday announced a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger by issuing 2.6211 Star Bulk shares for each Eagle Bulk share. The consideration equates to a 13% premium to Eagle Bulk’s closing price, while the combined entity would eye at least USD50m in annual synergies. For Star Bulk, we believe the agreement represents an opportune move, taking advantage of better market pricing and adding even more scale to its efficient operations. We would ...

Star Bulk is disposing of five vessels and bringing two firm newbuilds into the fold as the company ‘looks towards fleet renewal’. Despite what we view as elevated asset values, Star Bulk’s renewal comes at a likely favourable point in the cycle, with constructive supply-side fundamentals providing solid support and upside potential, should demand improve. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to USD21 (22).

We reiterate our BUYs on all our dry bulk names, but catalysts for a marked re-pricing of the stocks now appear further out. In our view, valuation and risk/reward remain attractive, but potential negative earnings revisions and an uncertain outlook should cloud the sector into 2024e. However, we see meaningful upside potential if Chinese growth accelerates and a solid supply side lends support.
