Safe Bulkers: Idea For Income-Oriented Investors That Seek Upside Potential
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.

Safe Bulkers: The PullBack Might Not Be Over
Recent 20% pullback in share price following a 100% bull run since the end of 2023, with mixed Q2 2024 earnings due to weaker commodity markets and reduced backhaul cargoes. Despite a rise in net income and charter rates, my concerns include declining free cash flow, operating margins, and a high dividend yield not necessarily backed up by good financials. Safe Bulkers repurchased over 4.8 million shares in Q1 2024 but has not announced a new buyback program for Q2 2024, raising my concerns about future share price support.
