NVGS sits 52% above its 52-week low of $14.08.
Summary
Navigator Gas reported preliminary Q2 2026 revenue of $167.9 million, up 30% year-over-year, driven by strong freight rates and record ethylene export volumes amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Net income more than doubled to $53.0 million from $21.5 million a year ago. The board declared a $0.07 per share dividend and plans $14.2 million in share repurchases, returning 35% of net income to shareholders. The fixed dividend element was raised to $0.08 for Q3, signaling confidence in sustained earnings. This follows a series of strategic moves including vessel sales and newbuild financing, and comes as major shareholder BW Group continues reducing its stake.
