The strong Q2 beat and elevated dividend signal robust cash generation, but the CEO transition introduces execution risk. Monitor Q3 coverage rates ($30,716/day on 80% of days) and the pace of Strait of Hormuz reopening for signs of rate normalization. The net LTV at 13% leaves ample capacity for further shareholder returns or fleet investment.
