In a Stage 2 advancing uptrend with higher highs and higher lows intact, the corrective pullback has held support at the rising 9EMA and 21EMA. Price is tightly tracking above the EMAs, with neutral RSI and no exhaustion, presenting a favorable entry on the pullback. Overhead supply near the 9/21 EMA and 50 DMA creates moderate stage transition risk, warranting close monitoring.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • Across the fleet as a whole, we generated approximately 177 million of gross charter hire during the quarter.
  • The container market backdrop remains constructive, and the long-term contracted portfolio continues to generate strong, visible cash flows.
  • In tankers, the fleet generated approximately 46 million of gross charter hire, offering approximately 42 million in the prior quarter, a meaningful sequential improvement.

Bear points

  • Revenue from these vessels was approximately 2 million compared to 3 million in the prior quarter.
  • But please note that reported charter hire from vessels in the sport market is accounted for on a low-to-discharge basis pursuant to U.S. GAAP. We therefore expect the average for the full quarter to be lower than the booked revenue so far due to expected ballast days in the remainder of the quarter.
