Strategic Profile

Diana operates a fleet of 36 dry bulk vessels (~4.1 million dwt, weighted average age 12.22 years) and expects two methanol dual-fuel Kamsarmax deliveries by H2 2027 and H1 2028. The company has secured $153 million in contracted revenues for 2026, covering 76% of ownership days, providing strong revenue visibility.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Diana achieved a fleet utilization rate of 99.7% for 2025, demonstrating effective vessel management. However, Q4 2025 net income declined to $3.1M from $9.7M in Q4 2024, and the company invested $103.5 million in acquiring a 14.8% ownership interest in Genco Shipping & Trading Limited, impacting near-term cash position.
