SBLK Stock Recent News

ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (the “Company” or “Star Bulk”) (Nasdaq: SBLK), a global shipping company focusing on the transportation of dry bulk cargoes, announced today the sale of the Capesize m/v Star Triumph, the oldest vessel of its fleet (2004 built), at a gross price of $20.0 million, with net proceeds (after repayment of associated debt) of approximately $13.0 million. The Company expects to record a gain on sale of the vessel of approximately $7.7 million during the 3rd quarter of 2024.

I have a buy rating on Star Bulk Carriers due to its strong financial position, attractive valuation, and high dividend yield. Despite mixed quarterly results, SBLK's revenue growth and liquidity position make it well-positioned to weather potential macro and industry-specific volatility. Key risks include economic weakness in China and potential geopolitical conflicts, which could pressure shipping rates and demand.

BDI has further pulled back, attributing to the recent pessimism surrounding China's steel demand and the prolonged slump in the property market. Even so, SBLK continues to guide promising FQ3'24 contracted TCE rates, while reporting rich FQ2'24 adj EBITDA margins despite the higher dry docking expenses. The management expects to deliver increasing synergy in its operations and lower operating expenses over the next six quarters as well.
