Imperial Petroleum Inc. (IMPP)

A mediocre charter rate environment for both product tankers and dry bulk carriers has impacted Pyxis Tankers' financial results in recent quarters. However, dry bulk carrier charter rates have recovered quite meaningfully as of late, which should translate into improved second-half results. While shares lack major catalysts like an active share buyback program or a dividend, an almost 75% discount to estimated net asset value is difficult to ignore.

Imperial Petroleum has improved fundamentals, featuring a larger, well-utilized fleet, rising equity, and increased insider ownership. Fleet expansion is self-funded, with most vessels on time charters, providing cash flow stability amid market volatility. IMPP trades at a 63% discount to NAV, supported by a debt-free balance sheet and significant cash reserves, but faces governance concerns.
