Danaos: More Diversification, More Debate, Still Plenty Of Value

Summary Danaos Corporation remains attractively valued at ~0.6x book, supported by a robust containership backlog and high charter rates. DAC's contracted containership revenue stands at $4.1 billion, with 100% coverage for 2026 and strong medium-term visibility. Management is allocating capital to fleet expansion and side investments, including Alaska LNG and Yoda, rather than prioritizing buybacks. I maintain a bullish stance on DAC stock, favoring selling puts for premium, as DAC's core business and clean balance sheet underpin long-term value. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Costamare Bulkers: Cleaner Deck, But Still Lacks A Compass

Summary Costamare Bulkers has benefited from surging dry bulk rates, driving improved Q1 results and higher operating income. CMDB’s transfer of its volatile trading portfolio to Cargill simplifies its business model and reduces risk, enhancing visibility. Despite trading at a discount to book value and holding strong liquidity, CMDB lacks a clear capital return or dividend strategy. I remain on the sidelines due to concerns over capital allocation, prioritization of growth over returns, and insufficient investor communication. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
