The shipping company has a mixed surprise record as its earnings lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters (outpacing the same in the other two). The average miss is 10.4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has been stable at 36 cents per share over the past 90 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors likely to have impacted DSX’s June-quarter performance.
We expect Diana Shipping’s second-quarter bottom-line performance to have been hurt by higher vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increase in the average number of vessels in its fleet. High fuel costs (oil price was up 5.5% year over year in the April-June period) are likely to have shot up total expenses.
However, with the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade picked up the pace and this should aid the second-quarter results of shipping stocks like Diana Shipping. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting a high proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Optimism surrounding the dry bulk market is a huge positive for Diana Shipping and is likely to have boosted its top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
