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.
