Star Bulk Carriers is a Greece-based shipping company that transports bulk commodities such as iron ore, minerals, grains, and fertilizers worldwide. I review the market outlook for dry bulk carriers and also reassess my previous "Buy" rating for SBLK stock. SBLK's balance sheet looks healthy. The cash flow generation is still solid. With strategic refinancings and vessel sales, I believe SBLK is poised for a resilient and promising future.

Star Bulk Carriers Is Still An Attractive High-Yielding Buy

Star Bulk Carriers has recorded another quarter of improved TCE rates compared to most of its dry bulk peers and industry averages, with the preliminary FQ3'23 rates also highly promising. In addition, the company records market-leading daily OPEX per vessel of $4.91K in FQ2'23, naturally triggering its expanded profitability and variable dividend payouts. With SBLK's balance sheet in much better shape post hyper pandemic windfall, we believe investors may still look forward to excellent payouts ahead.

Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.47 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.50 per share. This compares to earnings of $2 per share a year ago.

Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) Q2 Earnings Lag Estimates

Star Bulk Carriers' upcoming Q2 earnings will cap a difficult H1 that was impacted by a sharp drop in dry bulk shipping rates in 2023. SBLK is down more than 30% in the past year in tandem with declining rates but flat YTD, indicating that investors are holding on to hopes of a recovery. Investor optimism is fueled by changing monetary policy, constrained supply of shipping vessels, and China's infrastructure investment plans, all of which point to improved shipping rates.

In general, dividend investors have a conservative approach. The focus is on blue-chip stocks with a good track record of dividends.

3 Stocks to Buy With a Dividend Yield of Over 10%

Star Bulk Carriers Corp. stock has underperformed the S&P 500 since March, despite being a leading dry bulk shipping company. I turned more cautious then, as I assessed sellers regained control. China's tepid economic performance in H1 justified a more cautious stance on dry bulk shipping stocks. However, a more robust recovery in the second half could turn the tide. I assess that Star Bulk Carriers' attractive valuation should attract value investors to return. Its buying sentiments have also improved, suggesting dip buyers have returned.

Star Bulk Carriers: Buy The Massive Drop Before It Turns

Last month, leading dry bulk shipper Star Bulk Carriers reported seasonally weak first quarter results but still managed to generate $83.2 million in cash flow from operations. The company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 which will be payable on June 27 to all shareholders of record as of June 7. Star Bulk Carriers continues to return substantial amounts of capital to shareholders with aggregate dividend distributions and share buybacks since 2021 eclipsing $1 billion.
