Danaos Corp
Danaos Corporation (DAC) is a shipping company that owns and operates a fleet of containerships and leases them under time charters to liner companies. With a market capitalisation around $1.57bn, the company’s revenues are largely driven by charter rates, the utilisation of its vessels and the broader level of global trade. Investors should note Danaos’s sensitivity to cyclical demand for container shipping, fuel and operating costs, and regulatory changes such as decarbonisation rules that can affect vessel economics. The business model can provide stable cash flows when charter rates are firm, but earnings and valuations may swing with freight markets and supply of vessels. Balance sheet and financing terms are important when assessing risk, as shipping is capital intensive. This is general, educational information — not investment advice — and potential investors should consider their objectives and seek personalised guidance before making decisions.
