Ardmore Shipping reported Q1 adjusted earnings of $23.6 million ($0.58 per share) and declared a $0.39 per share dividend under a new policy to pay two-thirds of adjusted earnings. Management said Middle East disruptions have tightened the product tanker market, lifting MR spot TCEs to about $52,100/day so far in Q2 (Q1: $33,700) and supporting further momentum. The company ordered two handysize product/chemical tankers at $44.9 million each with deliveries from late 2028, expects 2026 capex to fall sharply and plans to rebalance capital allocation between dividends, buybacks, reinvestment and debt management. » Más en finance.yahoo.com
