Het geld wat ze ophalen gooien ze ook net zo snel weer over de balk:
ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Apr 11, 2017) - DryShips Inc. ( NASDAQ : DRYS ) (the "Company" or "DryShips"), a diversified owner of ocean going cargo vessels, announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, under the previously announced new dividend policy. Under this policy, the Company will pay a regular fixed quarterly dividend of $2.5 million to the holders of common stock.
With respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $2.5 million to the common shareholders of record as of May 1, 2017 and payable on or about May 15, 2017. The dividend per share amount to be paid by the Company will be determined based on the number of shares outstanding on the record date.
Updated Key Information as of April 11, 2017:
Cash and cash equivalents about $422.0 million, (or $8.98 per share)
Book value of vessels, including deposits about $194.3 million, (or $4.13 per share)
3rd Party Loans about $16.5 million
Sifnos Loan Facility balance about $200.0 million
Number of Shares Outstanding about 47,010,986
Op het bovengenoemde aantal aandelen is dat ongeveer 0,05 per aandeel. Zo'n 3% per kwartaal. Dat is op zich niet slecht. Maar met alle aandelen die er mogelijk nu weer bij komen kan dat rendement natuurlijk fors omlaag, en dan volgt de koers net zo hard mee.
Alles hangt ervan af hoeveel DRYS aan aandelen gaat dumpen. Gezien de historie is er niet echt een reden te veronderstellen dat het nu afgelopen is daarmee.
