$SBLK Star Bulk Carriers reports Q1 adjusted EPS (7c), consensus (28c)
Reports Q1 revenue
$230.65M, consensus
$164.34M. Petros Pappas, Chief Executive Officer of Star Bulk, commented: "Despite the seasonal market weakness during the first quarter 2025, Star Bulk remained in the black with Net Income of
$0.5 million, EBITDA of
$58.0 million and TCE per vessel per day of
$12,439. Our disciplined capital allocation strategy continues to prioritize shareholder value by combining dividends and share buybacks.
The Board declared a
$0.05 per share dividend, marking our 17th consecutive quarter of capital returns, totaling ~
$1.35 billion to date. Using vessel sales proceeds at net asset value, we repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares, at prices significantly below net asset value, capitalizing on recent market dislocations to enhance shareholder returns. Going forward, we plan to remain committed to this strategy."
