ATHENS, Greece, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rubico Inc. (Nasdaq: RUBI) (the “Company” or “Rubico”), a global provider of shipping transportation services specializing in the ownership of vessels, announced today that after taking into account the June 30, 2026, charter free vessel value estimates from third party international brokers, debt outstanding and cash, management estimates the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of June 30, 2026, to be $183.1 million. This reflects a 94% increase from the previous NAV reported on March 2, 2026. This translates into a NAV of $300.26 per common share (based on number of common shares currently outstanding) and $72.22 per common share on a fully diluted basis (assuming exercise of all the 669,193 outstanding warrants and the conversion of all the Series G Convertible Preferred Shares).
The Company’s CEO said:
“As of yesterday’s market close, we are trading at a 95% discount to our current estimate of our fully-diluted NAV. Our fleet has an average age of approximately 5.2 years, consisting of state-of-the-art vessels equipped with the latest eco-friendly and fuel-efficient specifications. In addition, our newbuilding pipeline comprises of two high-specification 47,499 dwt MR tanker newbuildings, scheduled for delivery in the third and fourth quarters of 2029, one of which will be acquired through a share purchase agreement expected to close by September 30, 2026. The pipeline also includes a high-specification 60-meter megayacht scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027, which we intend to divest to achieve a meaningful equity release — a multiple of our current market capitalization, as previously announced.”
