Summary

  • Safe Bulkers employs nine vessels under spot charters and 38 under time charters. The mix between time and spot charters pays off.
  • Net revenue grew by 11% yearly to $78.5 million in 2Q24. Higher day rates combined with more available days contributed to this increase.
  • The company's valuation at 47% PNAV presents significant upside potential, supported by favorable dry bulk market fundamentals. Besides that, SB offers well-secured dividends.
  • SB is a combination of growth and income. That said, I give Safe Bulkers a Strong Buy rating again.

I am a voracious reader and self-taught investor. In the past, I was an accountant in the maritime industry. Now, I am a happy retiree passionate about writing and financial markets. As the kids are grown up, I have time to pursue my endeavors: growing my portfolio and developing my writing skills. You will find enticing investment ideas in KD Research that are not limited by region or sector. However, all of them share a few common things: • They are overlooked. • They offer asymmetric risk rewards. • They pay dividends with juicy yields. When I filter for new ideas, I look for at least two of the three to be presented. As an investor and analyst, I prefer shipping and mining enterprises. However, I will dive deep without hesitation if I spot a company from another industry suitable for my investment style. My analytical approach is focused on fundamentals. Do not forget I was an accountant, and I love scrambling numbers. Nevertheless, the fundamentals are not good enough to time the market. I add technical analysis to avoid being too early or too late for the party. I am excited to join Seeking Alpha contributors and share my thoughts with SA's thriving investor community. I am associated with the existing author Banks and Beyond.
