Strong Q1 beat and April TCE acceleration at $41,600/day, with the monthly dividend raised from $0.06 to $0.15, signal robust near-term cash generation. The tight Capesize supply backdrop and HSHP's index-linked premium structure support elevated earnings. Watch for BCI rate trajectory and China iron ore demand as key swing factors; the current run-rate could drive significant distribution upside.

Executive Summary
Himalaya Shipping reports Q1 2026 net income of $5.0M (EPS $0.11) vs a loss of -$6.4M (EPS -$0.14) in Q1 2025, driven by a 52.7% surge in operating revenues to $33.6M on higher TCE earnings of $32,300/day. April TCE hit $41,600/day and the monthly distribution was raised to $0.15/share. The filing is a clean beat with strong forward momentum from a tight Capesize market and limited fleet supply.
