of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 37 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

In the company’s own words
We are a New York City-based pure-play drybulk ship owning company focused on the seaborne transportation of commodities globally. We transport key cargoes such as iron ore, coal, grain, bauxite, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes. After the expected delivery of two Newcastlemax vessels during March 2026 that we have agreed to acquire, our fleet will consist of 45 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax and 17 Capesize vessels and 15 Ultramax and 11 Supramax vessels with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 5,044,000 deadweight tons ("dwt") and an average age of 12.7 years.
Our approach towards fleet composition is to own a high-quality fleet of vessels that focuses on Newcastlemax, Capesize, Ultramax and Supramax vessels. Newcastlemax and Capesize vessels represent our major bulk vessel category, while Ultramax and Supramax vessels represent our minor bulk vessel category. Our major bulk vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore, coal and bauxite, while our minor bulk vessels are primarily used to transport grains, steel products and other drybulk cargoes such as cement, scrap, fertilizer, nickel ore, salt and sugar. This approach of owning ships that transport both major and minor bulk commodities provide us with exposure to a wide range of drybulk trade flows.
We employ an active commercial strategy which consists of a global team located in the U.S., Denmark and Singapore. Overall, we utilize a portfolio approach to revenue generation through a combination of short-term, spot market employment, index-linked time charters as well as opportunistically booking longer-term fixed-rate coverage or contracts of affreightment depending on market conditions and management’s outlook. Our fleet deployment strategy currently is weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provides us with optionality on our sizeable fleet.
Since 2021, we have executed this strategy by reducing our debt by $249.2 million cumulatively through December 31, 2025 while expanding our core Capesize and Ultramax fleet. This has resulted in a debt balance of $200 million as of December 31, 2025, a 55% reduction from January 1, 2021 levels. These actions have enabled us to further reduce our cash flow breakeven rate positioning us to pay sizeable quarterly dividends across diverse market environments.
