Markets hate uncertainty, and right now there's plenty to go around. The outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict, following by Iranian retaliation against oil infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, has sent crude prices surging and shipping rates soaring to record levels.

ATHENS, Greece, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaos Corporation (NYSE: DAC), one of the world's largest independent owners of containerships, announced today that its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be accessed on the company's website, www.danaos.com. Alternatively, shareholders may also request a hard copy of the complete audited financial statements, free of charge, by contacting the company using the contact details provided at the end of this press release.

Danaos Corporation remains a deep value play, boasting high profitability, strong earnings visibility, and a fortress balance sheet, despite a recent run-up. DAC's disciplined and opportunistic capital allocation would make Buffett proud, with a proven record of buying at cycle lows and focusing on immediately accretive transactions derisked through financing and chartering. Recent moves into dry bulk and the Alaska LNG partnership provide optionality and potential new earnings engines, while core containership operations remain resilient.

Danaos has surpassed $100/share, posting a record $266M quarter and boasting a $4.3B contracted revenue backlog. DAC's core containership business remains robust, with 100% of 2026 and 87% of 2027 operating days locked at high rates. The $50M Alaska LNG investment marks a strategic diversification but introduces operational risk and a capital allocation debate.

Shipping stocks are quietly staging a comeback — and the underlying supply-demand setup suggests this cycle may have staying power. The Baltic Dry Index, a key benchmark for global shipping rates, has risen more than 60% from its 2023 lows, according to Baltic Exchange data, signaling a significant recovery in global shipping demand.
