|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 23 | Tanker acquisition deal | Positive | -6.8% | Agreed to acquire ECO MR tanker with seven-year charter and $75M backlog. |
| Feb 10 | Reverse stock split | Negative | -3.9% | Announced 1-for-7.8 reverse split to support Nasdaq listing compliance. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent financings, acquisitions and a reverse split have often been followed by negative price reactions, even when the news was operationally constructive.
Over the last few months, Rubico has repeatedly tapped equity markets and expanded its fleet. A $4.0M public offering on Jan 9, 2026, multiple yacht and tanker acquisition announcements, and a 1-for-7.8 reverse split on Feb 12, 2026 all saw share price declines within 24 hours. Despite operational moves such as the ECO MR tanker deal with potential gross revenue backlog of about $75M, the stock frequently traded lower on news. Today’s NAV disclosure fits into this backdrop of corporate activity against a weak share price.
