StealthGas Q1 Adjusted Profit Falls YoY, Beats Estimates Despite War Risk Premiums
GASS sits 60% above its 52-week low of $5.92.
Summary
StealthGas reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.40 and revenue of $42.8 million, both exceeding single-analyst consensus estimates. Despite the beat, adjusted profit declined year-over-year, primarily due to higher voyage expenses from war risk premiums and increased drydocking costs linked to Middle East instability. The company benefited from a $2.5 million gain on a vessel sale and higher revenues per vessel. StealthGas has secured 54% of its fleet days for the remainder of 2026, with $53 million in contracted revenues, but geopolitical risks continue to weigh on the outlook.
