Danaos: Severely Undervalued Despite Industry Shifts
Danaos' revenues increased year over year and will likely continue to increase or at least remain stable. Profitability is in decline, but despite this, market cap is still significantly lower than it should be. Danaos' balance sheet gives it plenty of room for growth and flexibility to respond to industry changes.
Danaos Q3: Drybulk Isn't Growing, But The Reasons Seem Valid
Danaos Corp. (DAC) has aggressively executed share buybacks, totaling $213.6 million, capitalizing on its undervalued stock price. DAC's management prudently slowed buybacks as the share price approached $100, aligning with their focus on preserving cashflows.

Occidental Petroleum: Prepare For DAC-Ing
Occidental Petroleum Corporation is heavily U.S. and Permian-focused, lacking both true diversification and pure-play shale status compared to peers. The company's main operational upside lies in Enhanced Oil Recovery, or EOR, using carbon capture, which benefits from lucrative tax credits. Direct Air Capture, or DAC, is a costly, inefficient carbon capture method; cheaper, scalable alternatives exist, making Oxy's heavy DAC investment questionable.
Danaos Delivers Sustainable Dividends At Extraordinary Low Valuation
Danaos is well-positioned in a challenging shipping market due to its low leverage, strong balance sheet, and focus on sub-12,000 TEU vessels. Long-term charters and a diversified customer base insulate DAC from near-term market volatility and provide stable cash flows through at least 2027. Elevated scrapping activity, environmental regulations, and DAC's modern fleet should drive long-term competitive advantages as older ships exit the market.
Danaos: Considerably Undervalued And Could Inflect Higher Soon
Danaos trades at less than half of book value despite having minimal net debt, with strong earnings visibility through 2028 due to $3.7 billion of contracted revenues. Danaos has recently become more aggressive with share repurchases, buying back over $50 million through May 14th of this year, ~5% of the float! The containership market has strengthened significantly lately, providing Danaos a great opportunity to further contract out 2026 and 2027 when their newbuilds hit the water.
Danaos Corp: Another Big Bet On Maritime Transport
Danaos maintains a well-diversified fleet of vessels, with at most 23% of the vessels belonging to a single class. Hapag-Lloyd and PIL are Danaos' main clients, but they represent only 18% of contracts in each case. Danaos will embark on a fleet expansion that will increase capacity by 128,220 TEUs by 2028.
