It’s been earnings season the past two weeks and if there were ever a question about whether shipping could avoid a hit due to the sub- prime crisis, well, this should answer it.
For fun, here are a few analyst comments on recent returns… From Dahlman Rose:
Dahlman/Eagle Bulk Shipping – 1Q Operating Results Stronger Than Expected; In Solid Position to Re-Charter Vessels as Rates Continue Pushing Higher
We believe Eagle’s aggressive approach to re-chartering its vessels will payoff as the market has exceeded our expectations. During the past few weeks we have seen several long-term time fixtures as charterers look to secure vessels in the face of a rising market. We maintain our Buy rating and $33/share target, based on a 10% 2009 CF yield, ahead of the earnings call this morning.
Eagle’s share price jumped more than 10% following their conference call!
