Safe Bulkers will report 3Q2011 financials on October 17th, 2011

One of my favorite high dividend stocks, Safe Bulkers (SB), will report its 3Q financials after the market closes on Monday October 17th, 2011.  Unnamed, faceless Wall Street analysts expect between $1.43 - $1.53 in earnings for 2011.  SB earned $0.41 in 1Q2011 and $0.27 in 2Q2011 for a total of $0.68 for the first six months of 2011.  Safe Bulkers needs to earn $0.38 in each of the next quarters to meet estimates.

They might meet these estimates because the Baltic Dry Index has increased slightly in 3Q2011 compared to 2Q2011.  The stock price will get hammered if the S&P turns down, the Baltic Dry Index turns down, or it the EPS numbers are below estimates.  We haven’t seen the bottom in Safe Bulkers yet.
