"Eagle Bulk reported a 4Q12 EPS loss of $1.92 which was modestly better than both Street consensus of an EPS loss of $1.93 and our estimate of an EPS loss of $2.27 primarily due to better than expected charter rates earned during the quarter and lower than expected G&A expenses incurred during the quarter," the analyst comments.
