Motley Fool: Is DryShips a Buy?
Motley Fool: Is DryShips a Buy?
Dry bulk carrier owner DryShips (NASDAQ:DRYS) has seen its stock price effectively drop 99% over the past three years. The actual price collapse defies logic if you look at the price chart and don’t understand the history — and so far in 2019 the stock is on the downswing again, losing a troubling 40% of its value after rocketing 60% higher in 2018. What’s going on, and is it worth it for…

TOPS and DRYS: Similar Dilution Plays
Dilution Causing Trouble At Sea
Greek shipping stocks are notorious for what appears to be never ending dilution; purchase agreements seem to be announced one after another. DryShips Inc. is perhaps the biggest offender when it comes to endless dilution. Examining the monthly chart of Dryships Inc. says it all:
DryShips stock was never worth that much money; those prices are adjusted according to the numerous reverse stock splits that were executed. It is well known that reverse stock splits are initiated when a stock's share-price is low enough to put it in danger of delisting and share-prices usually only go that low when a stock is being heavily diluted (or the company is going bankrupt). DryShips had numerous rounds of dilution for 2 years straight; which completely destroyed the value of many shareholders positions. Top Ships has been following the same dilution path as DryShips. It has not been confirmed by any sources, but it is evident enough, the patterns are way too similar. Top Ships has been announcing new rounds of dilution through purchase agreements for quite some time now. Top Ships monthly chart paints the same picture as DryShips:
Top Ships stock was never worth that much money; those prices are adjusted according to the numerous reverse stock splits that were executed. It is well known that reverse stock splits are initiated when a stock's share-price is low enough to put it in danger of delisting and share-prices usually only go that low when a stock is being heavily diluted (or the company is going bankrupt). Top Ships had numerous rounds of dilution for almost 2 years straight; which completely destroyed the value of many shareholders positions.

DryShips Inc. Dilution End And Turn-Around
DryShips Inc.'s end of dilution was proven to investors by a very favorable chain of events.

Top Ships (TOPS) - Purchase Agreement; More Dilution?
Not Another Purchase Agreement
On Friday, May 25, 2018, Tops Ships made 2 SEC filings after the markets closed. The filings were followed by a massive drop in share-price during after-hours trading. The most obvious explanation for a massive decline in share-price after SEC filings usually means a purchase agreement or some other very bad news was in the filings.The SEC filings brought news to investors that Top Ships was entering a purchase agreement with Maxim Group LLC where shares would be offered. Investors are fearful of what this round of dilution will bring to their holdings, especially since Top Ships executed a reverse stock split at the end of March to meet Nasdaq's minimum $1 trading price.
Will The Purchase Agreement Be Followed By A Reverse Stock Split?
Most purchase agreements are followed by a reverse stock split when the share-price is under Nasdaq's minimum $1 trading price requirement. Shares of Top Ships are currently prices at about $1.03 a share and the company has said that they are "eligible to offer and sell up to an aggregate of $14,257,825 of common shares." There is no doubt that this will dilute the share-price to under $1. This will require Top Ships to either execute another reverse stock split or except being delisted from Nasdaq. This is the biggest factor inducing fear for shareholders. Almost every investor knows that reverse stock splits executed by a company refinancing is disastrous. Reverse stock splits are perhaps the easiest way to lose money if not traded with caution.
Reverse Stock Split Promises Broken?
A big part of the significant decline in share-price is the fact that many investors believe that they were lied to and mislead by the company's CEO, Evangelos Pistiolis. There seems to be no real debate about this and there should be. Did Evangelos Pistiolis lie to and mislead investors? The obvious answer seems to be "yes!", but with closer analysis of the issue, it seems not to be a "no". Evangelos Pistiolis made a few statements in a press-release and investors ascribed their own meaning to it. The wording of Evangelos Pistiolis in the press-release was indeed misleading, but he did not make any promises. Here is what he said in the March 22, 2018 press-release: "The Company has also announced today that it does not intend to conduct another reverse stock split of its common shares for the following 12 calendar months from March 26, 2018." “Our 8th vessel, which is 50% owned by TOPS, was successfully delivered from Hyundai and commenced its time charter employment with a high quality counterparty. The construction of all remaining 6 vessels is progressing according to schedule. Following the delivery of the remaining 6 of our newbuilding vessels, our tanker fleet will have an average age of 2 years and will consist of 14 high specification newbuilding Product and Crude Oil tankers. All of our 14 newbuilding tankers are fitted with Ballast Water Treatment Systems. Three of our newbuilding tankers, 1 MR and 2 Suezmaxes, will be fitted with scrubbers, a technical feature that only a very small portion of the world tanker fleet has installed. Two of our MR vessels will be scrubber ready. In line with our chartering strategy to date, all vessels have medium to long term charter contract coverage, even before being delivered, and as of January 1st, 2018, total gross revenue backlog for the fixed charter period of operating vessels was about $155 million, increasing to about $172 million when adding the 50% of our joint venture vessels. We are currently focused on ensuring that our shipbuilding program is adequately funded both from an equity and debt point of view and within the boundaries of our newly adopted capital raising corporate strategy. We are also focused on closing the gap between our equity market capitalization and our net asset value in order to be in line with the remaining listed tanker companies. Based on the last closing price of TOPS, we estimate that our shares trade at a 75% discount to our current net asset value placing us among the most undervalued tanker shipping stocks on NASDAQ”. Technically, he never said that there definitely would not be another reverse stock split. The wording in the press-release was this: "The Company has also announced today that it does not intend to conduct another reverse stock split of its common shares for the following 12 calendar months from March 26, 2018." "Does not intend to" This was not a promise- it was a semi-misleading statement. The statement made investors believe that there would not be another reverse stock split because of more dilution from a new purchase agreement. Investors thought that dilution from purchase agreements was over and done with.
What Comes With The New Purchase Agreement
It is way too early to speculate the route Top Ships is going to go with this purchase agreement. The recent moves of Top Ships are very similar to those of Dryships. Dryships is very well known for its dilutive ways with sneaky purchase agreements that cause many investors to lose money. Although Dryships heavily diluted its shares with purchase agreements, the company seems to have turned around recently. The steps Top Ships are taking seem very similar to those taken by Dryships in the fall of 2017. It is too early to lose faith in the directors of Top Ships. Only time will tell. Read the full article
