The 20-F confirms strong cash generation and fleet growth, but the decline in average charter rates and flat earnings warrant caution. Watch for tanker rate spikes from the Iran-Israel conflict and the impact of U.S. tariffs on dry bulk demand. Monitor the pace of share repurchases and the outcome of pending vessel deliveries and any related financing.
