Deutsche Bank Upgrades Genco Shipping (GNK) to Hold; Equity Dilution Risk Has Materially Moderated

Deutsche Bank upgraded Genco Shipping (NYSE: GNK) from Sell to Hold, price target raised to $6.00.

Deutsche analyst says, "After GNK announced a favorable waiver for its Net Debt/EBITDA covenant, we believe GNK’s equity dilution risk has materially moderated. GNK had a cash position of nearly $240 million at the end of Q3 (pro-forma for the waiver repayment) which should help the company survive through the cycle. However, GNK continues to maintain high spot exposure (more than 80% in 2012) which will likely constrain earnings and upside."
