Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (GNK) saw its stock price plummet 7.52% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of its third-quarter financial results. The significant drop reflects investors' disappointment with the company's performance.
The shipping company reported a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a stark contrast to the net income of $21.5 million recorded in the same period in 2024. This translates to a diluted loss per share of $0.02, down from earnings per share of $0.49 in the prior year quarter. The company's adjusted EBITDA also declined to $19.9 million from $30.0 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Other factors contributing to the weak performance included a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.7 million and other net expenses of $3.5 million for the quarter. Despite highlighting positive aspects of its governance structure, including a majority independent board with 50% female representation, the financial results appear to have overshadowed these points in investors' minds, leading to the sharp pre-market decline.
