What to Expect from Global Ship Lease's Earnings

Possible labor strikes at U.S. East and Gulf coast ports and Canadian railways may lead to volatility in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/08/40451543/transatlantic-container-shipping-volumes-rise-as-possible-strike-at-u-s-ports-hovers">container freight rates</a> by causing supply-chain disruptions for the container industry and cargo owners, according to an industry expert.
&#8220;With the looming strikes at Canadian railways and U.S. ports, we may see an immediate uptick in freight rates as market participants brace for significant disruptions,&#8221; said Christian Roeloffs, CEO of German online container marketplace Container xChange.

&#8220;The possibility of simultaneous strikes at U.S. ports and Canadian railways present a perfect storm for North American trade.&#8221;
Canadian&nbsp;National&nbsp;Railway and&nbsp;Canadian&nbsp;Pacific Kansas City plan to lock out thousands of rail workers on Thursday if they cannot reach labor agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, Reuters reported.
The Teamsters issued a 72-hour strike notice on Sunday to CPKC ahead of the company's lockout notice.
Meanwhile, the International Longshoreman Association, which represents 45,000 dockworkers at three dozen U.S. ports, plans to go on strike on Oct. 1 if it does not sign a new labor contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance by that date.

Strikes At US Ports, Canada's Railways May Cause Container Freight Rate Volatility

Transatlantic container shipping volumes into the U.S. are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40439449/why-is-israel-based-cargo-shipping-company-zim-integrated-stock-surging-today">making a comeback </a>as U.S. retailers look to replenish inventories ahead of possible strike action at U.S. ports.
&#8220;There is some temptation by customers to bring in goods ahead of the labor contract expiry on Sept. 30,&#8221; Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen said in an online news briefing, Reuters reported.
Hapag-Lloyd is the world&#8217;s fifth-largest container liner.
Freight sector analysts are closely following contract talks between cargo worker unions and port managers in case the September deadline is missed and a strike becomes imminent.
Retailers have also put in their orders sooner as they expect their goods to take longer trips around Africa to avoid Houthi-led attacks in the Red Sea, Hansen said.

This jump in ordering by U.S. retailers can be good news for several other liner operators that ship goods across the Atlantic basin to the U.S., such as Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESEA#NASDAQ">ESEA</a>), Global Ship Lease Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSL#NYSE">GSL</a>) and Danaos Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAC#NYSE">DAC</a>).
This good news for container shipping comes as ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>) posted very strong second-quarter earnings on Monday by capitalizing on transpacific trade into the U.S.
The company&#8217;s average freight rate for a 20-foot container came in at $1,674 for the second quarter, up from $1,193 for the same period last year. ZIM carried 952,000 20-foot containers in the quarter, up from 860,000 such containers a year ago.
ZIM posted earnings per share of $3.08 for the quarter, blowing away analyst EPS consensus of $1.79. Second-quarter revenue totaled $1.933 billion, up from $1.31 billion a year earlier.
Price Actions: Container shipping stocks trended upward on Monday.

<li>ZIM jumped 16.74% to close at $22.25</li>
<li>Euroseas gained 6.36% to finish the day at $47.02</li>

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

New analyst coverage greatly benefits investors by providing comprehensive data on stocks for an informed investment decision. Analysts possess information crucial for investors, and their insights are highly valued. Without them, stocks may be misinterpreted and potentially mispriced. 
Recently, several stocks, including GigaCloud Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gct#NASDAQ">GCT</a>) and Global Ship Lease, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gsl#NYSE">GSL</a>), have caught the attention of analysts, signaling potential value and growth opportunities for investors. 
Analysts do not randomly choose which stocks to cover. Typically, the decision to add a stock to their coverage is driven by significant investor interest or prospects associated with it. 
A noteworthy observation is that stocks tend to experience gradual upward price movements when they receive new analyst coverage compared with the price changes seen with existing analyst coverage. The extent of this price movement is influenced by the recommendations of the new analysts. Positive recommendations like &quot;Buy&quot; and &quot;Strong Buy&quot; result in a more substantial positive price reaction than &quot;Strong Sell,&quot; &quot;Sell,&quot; or &quot;Hold&quot; recommendations. 
When an analyst provides a new recommendation for a company with limited or no prior analyst coverage, investors pay more attention to the stock. Additionally, any fresh information attracts portfolio managers, who may decide to build a position in the stock. 
Instead of focusing on a single recommendation change, it is advisable to consider the average change in broker recommendations. Upgrades, initiations and increased coverage by multiple analysts carry equal significance in assessing a stock&#39;s potential. 
To formulate a prudent strategy, it is worthwhile to concentrate on the number of analyst recommendations that have increased in recent weeks. This approach can provide valuable insights into the overall sentiment and potential trajectory of a stock.
<h3>Screening Criteria</h3>
The Number of Broker Ratings now greater than the Number of Broker Ratings four weeks ago (this will shortlist stocks that have recent new coverage). 
Average Broker Rating less than Average Broker Rating four weeks ago (&quot;less than&quot; means &quot;better than&quot; four weeks ago). 
Increased analyst coverage and improving average rating are the primary criteria of this strategy, but one should also consider other relevant parameters to make it foolproof.
<h3>Here are the other screening parameters:</h3>
Price greater than or equal to $5 (as a stock below $5 will not likely create significant interest for most investors). 
Average Daily Volume greater than or equal to 100,000 shares (if the volume isn&#39;t enough, it will not attract individual investors).
<h3>Here are two out of the six stocks that passed the screen:</h3>
GigaCloud: Headquartered in El Monte, CA, this company offers comprehensive B2B e-commerce solutions for large parcel merchandise both in the United States and globally. GCT shares have gained 65% so far this year, outperforming the industry&#39;s 19% rise. 
GCT currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Earnings per share estimates for GCT have moved north to $3.25 from $2.98 for 2024 over the past 60 days, depicting analysts&#39; optimism over the company&#39;s prospects. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 47.9%. GCT has a VGM Score of A. 
Global Ship Lease: Based in Athens, Greece, this company specializes in owning and chartering containerships, offering fixed-rate charters to container shipping companies around the world. GSL shares have gained 43.7% so far this year, outperforming the industry&#39;s 15.7% growth. 
GSL currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). EPS estimates for GSL have moved north to $9.62 from $9.40 for 2024 over the last 60 days. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.7%.

2 Stocks in Focus As New Analysts Initiate Coverage

Quarterly supplemental dividends of $0.075 per share represent a 20% increase in dividend payments to common shareholders &nbsp;
Increased dividend payments reflect material outperformance of containership charter markets
ATHENS, Greece, May 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Ship Lease, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSL#NYSE">GSL</a>) (the "Company"), a containership charter owner, today announced the introduction of a quarterly supplemental dividend to common shareholders.
Recent containership charter market strength is enabling Global Ship Lease to secure higher-than-anticipated cashflows from time charters with longer-than-anticipated durations. As a result, in addition to the sustainable dividend of $0.375 per Class A common share per quarter, commencing with the dividend payable after the release of the Company's earnings for the second quarter of 2024, Global Ship Lease expects to initiate a supplemental dividend of $0.075 per Class A common share per quarter, an increase of 20%, for as long as conditions are supportive.

Jefferies Reiterates Buy on Global Ship Lease, Maintains $25 Price Target

Global Ship Lease Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSL#NYSE">GSL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/03/g37453394/global-ship-lease-reports-results-for-the-fourth-quarter-of-2023" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter FY23 results</a>.
Operating revenue grew 8.4% Y/Y to $178.9 million, beating the consensus of $172.0 million. Operating income declined to $78.9 million from $85.1 million a year ago. 
Revenue increased Y/Y due to charter renewals at higher rates on several vessels, the acquisition of four vessels (delivered in the second quarter of 2023), and a decrease in planned and unplanned off-hire days.
Adjusted EBITDA improved by 27.1% Y/Y to $127.1 million. Normalized EPS rose 16.4% Y/Y to $2.49,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of $2.35</a>.
Utilization for the quarter was 98.1% compared to 94.2% in the same period of the prior year. Time charter and voyage expenses were $5.4 million, compared to $6.6 million in the prior year quarter.
Vessel operating expenses increased by 3.1% to $47.0 million, with a 1.5% Y/Y decline in average cost per ownership day to $7,505.
As of December 31, 2023, the company had 68 containerships in its fleet. Global Ship Lease generated an operating cash flow of $105.5 million in the quarter.
Dividend: The company declared a dividend of $0.375 per Class A common share payable on March 6, 2024, to shareholders of record as of February 22, 2024.
George Youroukos, Executive Chairman, said, &#8220;Trade disruptions in the Red Sea significantly escalated towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in large-scale re-routing of containerships away from the Suez Canal and around the Cape of Good Hope, absorbing substantial effective supply.&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;Meanwhile, water shortages in the Panama Canal have led to a reduction in the number of vessels that can transit that key waterway, adding further bottlenecks to the global supply chain. Taken together, these two developments have caused a meaningful tightening of containership supply and demand &#8211; arresting, and even reversing, the previous downward normalization of charter rates and asset values.&#8221;
&#8220;It is impossible to predict how long disruptions to the Red Sea and Panama will last, and significant macroeconomic, geopolitical, and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">regulatory uncertainty remain prominent features of the market outlook.&#8221;</a>
Price Action: GSL shares are trading lower by 6.6% at $19.24 on the last check Monday.
