DryShips Soars 1,500% Amid Epic Short Squeeze
Nov 15, 2016 4:16 PM EST

(This story has been updated to reflect DRYS closing price.)

DryShips (DRYS) soared some 70% in Tuesday trading and has risen some 1,500% over the past week as one of the most spectacular short squeezes the market has witnessed in a long time grips this unique investment vehicle.

DryShips shares jumped 70.3% to $73 Tuesday on a huge volume surge. More than 10 million shares changed hands -- some 20 times the stock's average daily volume of less than 500,000. DRYS had been as high as $102 earlier in the session and is up from just $4.56 a share at last Tuesday's close.

It's a remarkable turn of events for a stock that was trading just above $1 a share as recently as August. However, quite a lot has transpired since this unusual stock hit its summer lows.

DryShips undertook a 1-for-4 reverse split when the stock was trading at $1 a share, then engineered a 1-for-15 reverse split at the start of November. As a result, there were just over 1 million shares of the stock in the public float, opening the door for exactly what's happened now -- a short squeeze of dramatic proportions. According to the website ShortSqueeze.com, 1.7 million shares of DryShips were in short sellers' hands as of October's end, up from just about 300,000 shares six months ago.

That isn't to say DryShips' rally is purely a function of the short-sellers market. While it is largely that, bets on the direction of overseas-shipping pricing have expanded sharply since last week's U.S. presidential election.

Esta valorização toda por causa do trump?

November 15, 2016, 04:01:00 PM EDT By Travis Hoium, Motley Fool

Shares of shipping stocks exploded higher today as investors bet the future of the industry is going to be brighter under a Trump administration. And the reaction was swift. As of 3:10 p.m. EST, shares of Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE: DSX) were up 14.9%, DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS) was up 73.1%, Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHIP) had risen 67.5%, and Danaos Corporation (NYSE: DAC) shares were up 39.6% on the day.
So what

There are a number of factors converging today to push shipping stocks higher. The first is speculation that a President Trump will spend billions of dollars on infrastructure programs, which will push commodities higher. Right now, the market's thinking is that increased spending will offset any negative impact from trade restrictions long touted by Trump on the campaign trail.

It's also likely investors are seeing a 20-point increase in the Baltic Dry Index to 1,065, the highest level since late summer 2015, as a positive sign. The Baltic Dry Index should give investors an idea of what rates for cargo ships are going for, so it's a proxy for their revenue. But the stock reaction is far greater than the index's move today.
Now what

Everything driving shipping stocks higher today is built on speculation. There's speculation there will be an infrastructure bill, speculation the bill will lead to higher commodity prices, and speculation that higher prices will lead to more ocean-shipping demand. The problem is that none of those things is certain, and it's easy to argue that trade restrictions could be a big negative for shipping companies.

The reality is that shipping stocks are also bouncing off a fairly low base. Their stocks have been struggling for years, and even a small increase in profitability could lead to a big increase in their stock prices. Investors are still only building the increased stock prices on speculation that the future will be better. There's a lot that has to go right for shipping stocks to recover to a sustainable level, and until we have more certainty, this is an industry I would steer clear of. Bullish speculation can evaporate quickly, and there's now a long fall for these stocks if it does.
