Global Ship Lease: A Contrarian Bet On The World Trade Volumes

  • Global Ship Lease's strong backlog and improved balance sheet make both common and preferred shares appealing, despite potential volatility in charter rates. 2024 was a strong year with increased revenue and decreased net debt, resulting in a net profit of $92.6M and EPS of $2.54. The Series B preferred shares offer an 8.4% yield and are well covered, backed by a robust balance sheet with $1.35B in common equity.
