Factors Likely to Have Influenced SHIP’s Q1 Performance
We expect SHIP’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter to have been significantly affected by rising operating expenses. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and supply-chain disruptions are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s results in the March-end quarter.
On the contrary, the company’s top-line performance in the March-end quarter is expected to have benefitted from the positive sentiment surrounding the Capesize market, further supported by its proactive fleet optimization strategy.
