On CAPS, 92% of the 228 members who have rated Safe Bulkers believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include dh1000 and All-Star TSIF, who is ranked in the top 0.1% of our community.
Earlier this year, dh1000 listed several of Safe Bulkers' positives: "Relatively new ships on contracts for varying periods of time (staggered terms) with solid customers; reasonable debt and good dividends."
Currently, Safe Bulkers even sports a cheapish P/E of 4.6. That represents a discount to rivals like Eagle Bulk (10.0), DryShips (6.1), and Navios Maritime (7.9).
CAPS All-Star TSIF elaborates on the bargain opportunity:
The excess shipping is creating bargains for those who can afford to buy new ones from cancelled orders left at distressed shipyards, but they have to come to market profitably. I think Safe Bulkers after it's drop the last two months has a decent chance of holding it's own, which is all you really need right now. If they can maintain thieir dividend, (which at today's depressed share price is almost 8%, they should be able to hold up handily against the S&P).

Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future, and on Motley Fool CAPS, thousands of investors are working every day to find them. CAPS is 100% free, so get started!
