FLEX LNG's 11.9% dividend is well-supported by long-term charters, providing stable earnings even during temporary market softness. Lower EPS in Q2 was due to vessel drydockings and seasonal softness, but these are temporary factors, with all ships back in operation for Q3. Revenues are expected to rise in Q3 and Q4, driven by returning vessels and favorable market conditions, ensuring full dividend coverage.
