GASS

StealthGas is one of the cheapest shipping stocks on a P/NAV basis, despite a solid balance sheet and significant asset backing. The downside for GASS appears well protected, with cash and hard-asset value providing a substantial margin of safety at the current share price. The company is cheap for a reason: weak historical shareholder returns, governance concerns, and uncertainty over future capital allocation.

ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS), a ship-owning company serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.

ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS) (the “Company”), a ship-owning company serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today that it will release its second quarter operating and financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026 before the market opens in New York on September 2, 2026.

StealthGas offers a compelling value at 5-6x P/E, zero debt, and a strong net cash position, supporting a Buy rating. GASS benefits from its focus on small/medium LPG carriers, which are less impacted by Middle East disruptions than VLGCs. Insider buying and a fleet valued near twice enterprise value reinforce confidence, but a lack of a capital return policy limits upside.

ATHENS, Greece, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS), a ship-owning company serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today that the previously reported insurance matter relating to its vessel Eco Wizard has been satisfactorily concluded with the vessel's insurers and the agreed compensation has been received. The Company intends to sell the vessel in its current damaged condition to third parties (no monetary value will be gained for Stealthgas from such sale).

StealthGas trades at a 50% discount to book value, with no debt and strong liquidity, despite near-term operational headwinds. Current macro tailwinds—high oil prices and robust Asian propane demand—are driving elevated charter rates and supporting GASS's topline. Operational risks include vessel drydocking, a non-operational ship, and persistently high expenses, but these are viewed as transient.

StealthGas remains deeply undervalued, trading at just 50% its book value despite a 50% rally since October. GASS boasts a debt-free balance sheet and a record $131.2 million cash pile, now 37% of its market cap. Recent vessel sales above book value confirm the fleet's marked-to-market worth exceeds GAAP equity, further supporting valuation.

StealthGas remains a Strong Buy, driven by robust cash generation, high contracted revenue visibility, and significant upside potential. GASS reported $15.9 million in net income despite geopolitical disruptions, with $100 million in contracted revenues through 2029 and 54% of 2026 fleet days secured. The company's $155 million cash pile positions it to renew and expand its fleet, with potential near-term catalysts from insurance recoveries and vessel orders.
