Shares of Dynagas LNG Partners soared to a new 52-week high in early Friday trading after the company swung to a per-share profit and announced a new share buyback.
The stock was recently up 6.6% to $4.53. It spiked as high as 13% this morning, notching a fresh 52-week high at $4.80. The shares are now up 73% for the past year.
The Greece-based natural-gas company said it booked a third-quarter profit of 32 cents a share, reversing from the prior year's loss of 4 cents a share. Net income was $15.1 million, compared with $1.4 million a year earlier.
Dynagas also said it would repurchase up to $10 million in stock over the next 12 months, and reinstated its quarterly dividend for common unitholders, amounting to 4.9 cents per share.
