Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The portfolio shift to Capesize, coupled with fixed-rate coverage and liquidity gains, improves earnings predictability and potential per-share value. A stronger balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation reduce dilution risk and may attract buyers in a cyclically sensitive sector; however, cyclicality and China demand remain key downside risks, limiting upside to moderate multiple expansions.
