Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

We are making modest adjustments to our models as we take over research coverage of SHIP. We are lowering our TCE rate/day assumption for the 2022-1Q to $19,000 from $19,500 to reflect declines in dry bulk shipping prices at the end of the first quarter. We now project total revenues of $30.3 million and TCE revenues of $28.1 million based on 1500 operating days. We are also factoring in a $1.3 million, nonrecurring, non-cash loss as per company guidance. We  now project adjusted EBITDA for the quarter to be $13.3 million (down from $16.5 million) and adjusted net income to be $4.3 million (down from $6.0 million). The company will report results near the end of May.

Our adjustments to future quarters are less significant, rating is unchanged. We have lowered our TCE rates for the remaining quarters of the year as well. The impact on revenues, cash flow and earnings is fairly muted and does not affect our rating or overall opinion of the company. We continue to rate the shares outperform with a $1.50 per share price target. Our price target equates to a Total Enterprise Value (TEV) multiple of close to 4.0x estimated 2022 EBITDA. While the Cape market remains volatile and financial leverage remains a risk factor, we believe that SHIP is attractive due to high-operating leverage and moves to improve the capital structure. …
