Genco Shipping & Trading Limited reported a strong turnaround for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Voyage revenues rose to $136.4 million from $80.9 million a year earlier, lifting operating income to $21.8 million from a loss and net income to $16.7 million, or $0.38 basic EPS, versus a prior-year loss of $6.8 million. For the first half, voyage revenues were $250.8 million with net income of $26.3 million, compared with a loss in 2025.
Fleet performance improved, with fleet-average TCE rates up to $24,273 per day from $13,631, supported by stronger major and minor bulk markets. The company expanded its modern fleet by acquiring three large scrubber-fitted vessels and selling two older Supramax ships, ending the quarter with 43 vessels and expecting a 44th in August 2026. Cash from operations reached $48.9 million in the first half; cash stood at $73.6 million and undrawn availability under the $680 Million Revolver was $350.0 million, for total liquidity of $423.6 million. Debt principal increased to $330.0 million as the revolver was upsized. The board continued its dividend policy, declaring quarterly dividends including a subsequent $0.80 per share announcement after quarter-end, while also incurring $16.9 million of other operating expense tied to a non-routine 2026 annual meeting and proposals to purchase the company’s stock.
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited reported higher Q2 2026 results, with voyage revenues of $136.4 million and net income of $16.6 million, or $0.38 per basic share, compared with a net loss a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $56.7 million as fleetwide TCE increased to $24,273 per day.
The company declared a record Value Strategy dividend of $0.80 per share for Q2 2026, a 433% year-over-year increase, based on its policy of distributing 100% of quarterly operating cash flow less a $19.5 million voluntary reserve. This produced $35 million of cash flow distributable as dividends. Management projects, based on fixtures to date, the current FFA curve and estimated expenses, a record Q3 2026 dividend of over $1.00 per share and Q3 TCE to date 18% above Q2 levels, with an estimated fleetwide TCE of $28,587 per day.

Diana Shipping Inc., the largest shareholder of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited, reiterates its unsolicited proposal to acquire Genco at $27.34 per share and challenges Genco’s recent vessel valuation disclosures. Diana cites data from VesselsValue, previously used by Genco for more than five years, indicating that Genco’s fleet value has declined by $50 million, or 3.4%, from $1,483 million in early June 2026 to $1,433 million as of July 28, 2026.
Diana states that Genco shifted from VesselsValue to unnamed “independent third-party brokers” after Diana’s initial proposal, and argues this change produces higher net asset value estimates that make its offer appear inadequate. Diana urges Genco’s board to engage directly and in good faith, warning that a softening dry bulk market may further erode value and that material further erosion could prompt reassessment of its offer.
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited is the subject of a third-party tender offer by 4 Dragon Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Diana Shipping Inc., which has now expired without being completed. The offer was to purchase all outstanding Genco common shares, other than treasury shares, at $24.80 per share in cash, net to the seller, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.
On June 17, 2026, Diana submitted a revised proposal to acquire all Genco shares it did not already own for $27.34 total implied value per share, consisting of $24.80 in cash plus one Diana common share, based on a 30‑day volume‑weighted average Diana share price of $2.54. The offer and withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 24, 2026 and were not further extended. As of expiration, 11,778,419 shares, representing 31.6% of the outstanding shares held by shareholders other than Diana and 27% of all outstanding shares, had been validly tendered and not withdrawn, but the offer conditions were not satisfied or waived, so no shares were accepted. Diana instructed the depositary to promptly return all tendered Genco shares. Diana is reported as beneficially owning 6,264,548 shares of Genco, or 14.4% of the class, based on 43,577,051 shares outstanding as of May 6, 2026.
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited filed Amendment No. 22 to its Schedule 14D‑9 Solicitation/Recommendation Statement in connection with the unsolicited tender offer by Diana Shipping Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary to acquire all outstanding shares of Genco common stock. The offer is for $24.80 per share in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, for each share of Genco common stock and associated rights to purchase Series B Preferred Stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share.

As of July 10, 2026, 11,081,926 Genco shares, representing 29.7% of the outstanding shares not owned by Diana, had been tendered; this excludes more than 14% of Genco’s outstanding shares already held by Diana.
Diana has made a direct proposal to Genco’s board valuing Genco at $27.34 per share, comprised of $24.80 in cash plus one Diana share valued at $2.54 based on Diana’s 30‑day VWAP as of June 16, 2026. The cash offer was initially $23.50 per share and was increased to $24.80 per share. The proposal is supported by $1.412 billion in committed financing from six international banks and is described as offering a 53% premium to Genco’s undisturbed share price and a 6% premium to Genco’s net asset value per share at high dry bulk asset values.
The offer remains subject to multiple conditions, including Genco entering a definitive merger agreement with Diana, a majority of Genco shares being tendered on a fully diluted basis, termination or inapplicability of Genco’s shareholder rights plan, board approvals under affiliate transaction provisions, effectiveness of a planned Form F‑4 registration statement, and other customary conditions. If the offer closes, Diana plans a second‑step merger in which all remaining Genco shareholders would receive the same consideration as in the tender offer.
