The main question: the share price moved +58.6% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −64.3%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Safe Bulkers share price today? Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s share price was $7.44 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 48 weeks. That is 4.9% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $5 and $9, and at that close it sat 60% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 16 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +564% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Safe Bulkers pay? Safe Bulkers, Inc. paid $0.21 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.06 for Mar 2026. At today's price of $7.44 that is a yield of 2.82%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Safe Bulkers on? Safe Bulkers is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Safe Bulkers profitable? Safe Bulkers, Inc. earned $33.2 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $30.6 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −34.3% a year on average. That is 37.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $302 K. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $30.6 M (−65.8% on the year before). On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +70.1% and revenue +11.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Safe Bulkers make, and is it growing? Safe Bulkers, Inc. reported $87.5 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +33.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −4.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $276 M. The last four reported quarters add to $307 M. FY25 revenue was $276 M, −10.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.6% on average, against −4.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +10.8%, against +0.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +73.9%, against −5.0% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Safe Bulkers keep? Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s operating margin was 41.1% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 25.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 23.7% and 54.7%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +25.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +15.2 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Safe Bulkers' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 188% of Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $102 M of operating cash against $30.6 M of profit. After $42.0 M of spending on assets, $60.3 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Safe Bulkers' cash go? Safe Bulkers, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $396 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 47.9% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $396 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Safe Bulkers' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s P/E is 9.7×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 74% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 5.6×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −64.3% while the price moved +58.6%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +32.1% a year; about +5.6% a year came from earnings growth and about +26.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Safe Bulkers business getting better or worse? Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 8.1%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Safe Bulkers earn on its capital? Safe Bulkers, Inc. earned a ROE of 4% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 11.1% net margin and 0.20× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 11.1% net margin × 0.20× asset turnover × 1.69× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.8% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.7% − 7.8% = −3.1 percentage points. The 7.8% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Safe Bulkers have too much debt? Safe Bulkers, Inc. has total debt of $511 M against shareholder equity of $870 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.59× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.56 in FY21 to 0.65 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Safe Bulkers shareholding pattern? 5.5% of Safe Bulkers, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.2 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Safe Bulkers from balance-sheet trouble? For Safe Bulkers, Inc., the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Safe Bulkers rank in its industry? 57.0 out of 100, rank 8 of 23 in Marine Shipping, with 77% of the evidence available. Safe Bulkers, Inc. scores 57.0 out of 100 against the 23 companies it is compared with in Marine Shipping, ranking 8. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 22.6 + 11.8 + 14.4 + 8.2 = 57. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Safe Bulkers compared with? Safe Bulkers ranks 8 of 23 Marine Shipping companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 57.0 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
