Diana Shipping: Buy On 13.6% Dividend Yield And Discounted Valuation (Rating Upgrade)

The combination of weak quarterly results and dilution from warrant exercises has resulted in Diana Shipping's shares underperforming peers by a wide margin so far this year. Management's conservative chartering approach has been a drag on operating performance in recent quarters as it takes time for unfavorable legacy contracts to roll over to prevailing market rates. However, the company's average daily TCE rate should increase in the second half of the year mostly due to vastly improved time charter contracts for a number of Capesize vessels.
