The Event of the Week
All we see is more ton miles…
Things are literally exploding in the shipping sector so we hosted Charles Bonner from Marhelm for a special “Houthi Happy Hour” on all things shipping. Here are three of our biggest takeaways from the event…
- Russian sanctions were already making the market tight as more cargo was going from Russia through the Red Sea to Asia instead of through the Baltic to Western Europe. The Houthi disruption is just the cherry on top which has pushed rates from the Middle East to Europe from 50,000-60,000 a day to 150,000 a day.
- When there is a shorter- term crisis like this the companies with the biggest spot exposure have the most upside.
- There is uncertainty around ESG and new regulations for 2030. Nobody knows what type of engine to buy as none of the existing tech gets you to the goals being set. The technology simply doesn’t exist and that uncertainty is hurting order books across the board.

Pathward Financial, CASH, took in another appx. $30m in the trailing 15 weeks with their CEO bullish on buybacks – “There is not a better use of our capital than to buy the shares and if we get up into P/E 12 or something then will have a different conversation but right now I can’t get an ROE on capital that’s better than what I’ll get by buying back shares.”
