Summary
- Greece-based tanker and dry bulk vessel operator Imperial Petroleum commands a best-in-class balance sheet with plenty of cash and no debt.
- Last year, the company generated almost $80 million in cash flow from operations and both the tanker and dry bulk shipping markets continue to exhibit strength.
- With the dividend covered multiple times by the company's strong cash flow, Imperial Petroleum's 8.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares continue to look solid.
- However, the recent share price rally has resulted in the annualized yield now being roughly in line with several much larger players in the shipping space.
