SWOT Analysis - Weaknesses • Profits tied directly to Baltic Exchange Dry Index – the company does not make long-term contracts and depends on the spot market • Company bought a 30% stake in deep-sea oil drilling company for $400 million – distraction from core business. • Company has a debt of 1.2B • In the shipping industry as a whole DryShips has less market power due to it small market cap • Company Profile • Industry Analysis • Key Statistics • Technical Analysis • Competitors • SWOT Analysis • Recommendation
SWOT - Opportunities • Continued demand from emerging markets in China and India • Increase in the need for ships, putting more demand on the company to build ships and serve the market • The growing global economy is increasing the demand for shipping. • As shipping by ocean gets more faster and more efficient companies will consider switching to shipping by ocean. • Company Profile • Industry Analysis • Key Statistics • Technical Analysis • Competitors • SWOT Analysis • Recommendation
SWOT Analysis - Threats • More ships being built and flooding the market in the next 1-3 years • After enough ships are available there will no longer be a high incentive for growth • When newer companies begin using faster and higher efficiency ships, DRYS will need to upgrade which will cause it to invest a large amount of capital. • Ships are new because DryShips is a young company but once ships get older, large amounts of capital must be invested in the maintenance of ships • Company Profile • Industry Analysis • Key Statistics • Technical Analysis • Competitors • SWOT Analysis • Recommendation
Recommendation • Strong buy in the short-term based on attractive valuation and market trends, but the long-term picture is not as bright as ships are brought into the market and drive down pricing power • Company Profile • Industry Analysis • Key Statistics • Technical Analysis • Competitors • SWOT Analysis • Recommendation
