Dorian LPG Ltd. (LPG)

In November 2025, Dorian LPG reported Q2 2026 earnings that missed EPS and revenue forecasts, leading to a stock decline, but declared an irregular dividend of $0.65 per share. In February 2026, the company announced strong Q3 2026 financial results with adjusted EPS of $1.11, surpassing expectations, although revenues were slightly below estimates; they also declared an irregular dividend of $0.70 per share. Market conditions during this period were volatile, with fluctuations in Saudi Contract Prices and challenges in freight markets, but a recovery occurred due to winter seasonal demand. The global seaborne LPG trade reached a new quarterly record, with contributions from North American and Middle Eastern exports.

Traditionally, demand for Dorian LPG's vessels may be stronger in the fiscal quarters ending June 30 and September 30, and relatively weaker during the quarters ending December 31 and March 31. Recent LPG shipping market activity has shown less marked seasonality than in the past, primarily due to an increase in petrochemical industry buying. The fourth calendar quarter of 2025 saw a recovery in delivered product prices in November and December due to winter seasonal demand.
