Summary
- Genco, a shipper of drybulk cargo, has successfully turned itself around, becoming profitable and eliminating debt, making bankruptcy unlikely.
- The company owns a fleet of 43 vessels used for international drybulk shipping, with a "barbell" strategy focusing on Major and Minor Bulk cargo.
- Genco's financial results are heavily influenced by the Drybulk Index, with positive updates in FY 2023 and Q1 2024, including increased dividends and debt reduction.
- Management's keen eye for value and safety in capital allocation makes GNK a solid pick for dividend investors.
Genco ( GNK ) is a shipper of drybulk cargo, which I covered in detail back in December. I was primarily looking at the stock for its dividend and rated the shares a Hold. In my conclusion, however, I noted:
