Analysis
Diana Shipping Inc (DSX) currently trades at $2.42, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.28, implying the stock looks roughly 5.8% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Diana Shipping Inc generated revenue of $213M at a net margin of 20.6%. Revenue declined 0.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.7%. Net debt stands at $514M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $1.59 (bear case) to $2.28 (bull case); at $2.42, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 17% below its 52-week high and 69% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 67% fair-value upside, at -6%, DSX screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($2.71) versus DCF Models ($0.3100). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
