Analysts raised their earnings forecasts for Star Bulk Carriers in late September 2026, projecting earnings per share of US$1.33 and nearly 50% revenue growth versus the prior-year quarter while reiterating a Zacks Rank #1 rating and pointing to the company's valuation discount to peers. The upgrade sharpened attention on how Star Bulk's fundamentals compare with other US shipping names. The higher outlook follows an August 2026 dividend increase to US$0.90 per share, which together with stronger current earnings highlights the importance of the company's capital allocation choices at a time when analysts still expect longer term revenue to decline. Star Bulk Carriers' narrative projects $1.0 billion revenue and $467.0 million earnings by 2029, requiring a 5.6% yearly revenue decline and a $179.8 million earnings increase from $287.2 million today, and yields a $34.04 fair value, an 11% upside to its current price. At the optimistic end, some analysts were penciling in earnings of about US$606.3 million by 2029 before this latest EPS upgrade.
