Declining TCE and rising OPEX impacted the company's results. DSX reported lower revenues, EBITDA, and net income. As a result, the company announced a considerable dividend cut. In the previous quarter, DSX restructured its debt, thus moving the maturity wall to 2029. In October and November, the company continued with improving its capital structure. After the dividend cut, the FWD yield is 14%. The payout ratio is near a 100%. So, dividend safety is questionable.

The combination of weak quarterly results and dilution from warrant exercises has resulted in Diana Shipping's shares underperforming peers by a wide margin so far this year. Management's conservative chartering approach has been a drag on operating performance in recent quarters as it takes time for unfavorable legacy contracts to roll over to prevailing market rates. However, the company's average daily TCE rate should increase in the second half of the year mostly due to vastly improved time charter contracts for a number of Capesize vessels.
