Pangaea (PANL) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

PANL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of pangaea Logistics (NASDAQ: PANL) jumped 15.5% in the morning session after the company reported impressive fourth quarter 2024 results, which blew past analysts' sales and EBITDA estimates. 

The key highlight for the quarter was an 18% year-on-year growth in adjusted EBITDA, driven by a 17% increase in shipping days. Despite a 10% drop in Time Charter Equivalent (TCE - a measure of a vessel's average daily revenue performance) rates compared to last year, revenue climbed due to the expanded fleet and increased shipping activity. 

Looking ahead, Pangaea's expanded fleet size following its merger with SSI allows expansion into new segments and improved logistics capabilities. Overall, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside.

The shares closed the day at $5.45, up 12.1% from previous close.
