Pangaea Logistics SolutionsNASDAQ: PANL

Pangaea Logistics Solutions ("Pangaea") has agreed to acquire 15 handysize drybulk carriers for approximately $295 million including related debt in an all-stock transaction. The transaction will increase the company's owned fleet by almost 60% to 41 vessels and reduce loan-to-value to slightly below 40%. The company's shares will be valued at $10.20 in the transaction, a 55% premium to current market prices.

Pangaea Logistics Solutions reported better-than-expected Q2/2024 results, with both the company's top- and bottom-line results coming in ahead of consensus estimates. That said, adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.8% dropped to its lowest level in recent years as Pangaea's chartered-in fleet was running at a loss. With preliminary Q3 daily time charter equivalent rates up and charter-in rates down by more than 10% sequentially, Pangaea should report vastly improved third-quarter results.

Pangaea Logistics (PANL) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.01 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.10 per share a year ago.
