Star Bulk Carriers delivered a much stronger first quarter of 2026 as dry bulk charter rates improved sharply. Voyage revenues rose to $281.2M from $230.7M, and Time Charter Equivalent revenues increased to $214.1M with a higher TCE rate of $18,493 per day versus $12,439 a year earlier.
Net income climbed to $58.5M from near break-even, helped by higher rates, lower vessel operating, dry docking and interest expenses, and a smaller fleet. Operating cash flow more than doubled to $112.4M. The company continued deleveraging, cutting bank debt while still funding newbuild installments and vessel upgrades, and returned capital through $41.4M of dividends and $37.9M of share repurchases in the quarter.
Star Bulk ended the period with $397.0M of cash and $934.5M of bank debt plus lease financing. It also agreed to a conditional $470.5M acquisition of 16 secondhand vessels from Diana Shipping, to be funded with cash reserves and new secured debt, and maintained an eight-vessel Kamsarmax newbuilding program with remaining commitments of about $195.6M. The Board later declared a Q1 2026 dividend of $0.50 per share under its policy allowing distribution of up to 100% of quarterly cash flow.
