Where PXS is headed

Pyxis is a micro-cap Greek shipowner with three MR product tankers and three dry-bulk carriers. That is the whole company. At $6.66 the market values the equity at roughly $68 million against a fleet that, at recent secondary-market prices for 10-15 year old MRs and Ultramaxes, is worth meaningfully more than the enterprise value implies. Price to book sits at 0.70. Free cash flow ran $11 million on a $68 million cap. The math is not complicated, it is just uncomfortable, because product tanker equities have been in the penalty box since rates cooled from the 2023-2024 sugar high.
