Eagle Bulk Shipping could see ‘superior’ offer from other parties, says Stifel

Stifel analyst Benjamin Nolan would continue to buy shares of Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE) after the company announced a merger with Star Bulk (SBLK) valuating Eagle shares at $52.60 per share. The firm believes there is the potential for other third parties to come in with a superior cash bid, likely much closer to NAV at roughly $67 per share, though the merger with Star Bulk would be “very good” for both parties, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Stifel made no change to its Buy rating or $54 price target on Eagle Bulk Shipping shares.
