Short-term fundamentals are weakening, but the company is proactively restructuring its fleet toward higher-earning Capesize vessels. Traders should monitor Q1 2026 TCE guidance ($15,230) and the April–June 2026 delivery of M/V Squireship as catalysts for a potential earnings rebound. Dividend sustainability may come under pressure if turnaround lags.
