Star Bulk Carriers owns a large, diversified fleet of 159 vessels, with 97% equipped with scrubbers. SBLK reported strong 2Q24 results with a 47% YoY revenue increase, a 127% net profit growth, and a $0.70/share dividend, yielding 9.79%. The Eagle Bulk merger improved cost structure, reducing crew management costs by $600/day, and enhancing operational efficiency despite an older fleet.
In late 2023, many analysts called for 2024 to be the year of a small-cap stock renaissance. These stocks were battered as the Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates.
Following the Eagle merger, Star Bulk is now the leading dry bulk carrier sector fleet operator. Its improved performance over the past 3 years were driven by high freight rates. Despite declining freight rates, Star Bulk's strong track record in operating efficiencies and potential USD 50 million synergies from the merger present a significant investment opportunity. Apart from being financially sound, my valuation shows a 56% margin of safety, supported by other metrics and a Monte Carlo simulation.
