What the Analysts think about GSL
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Global Ship Lease stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In Q2 2025, GSL reported operating revenue of $191.9 million, up 9.7% year-over-year, and net income of $93.1 million, up 8.8%, driven by higher renewal rates and fleet additions (Global Ship Lease).
GSL has locked in 96% of 2025 and 80% of 2026 days under contract, securing $1.73 billion of forward revenues over a 2.1-year weighted average duration, which provides strong cash-flow visibility (Global Ship Lease).
The company’s disciplined capital structure features net debt/EBITDA below 1×, a new $85 million UBS facility maturing in 2028 at SOFR + 2.15% (4.18% cost), and credit ratings affirmed at Ba2 by Moody’s and BB+ by S&P, underscoring financial resilience (Global Ship Lease).
GSL’s top customer concentration is high, with Maersk accounting for approximately 31.9% of H1 2025 revenues, exposing GSL to counterparty risk if Maersk renegotiates charter rates or reduces its fleet requirements (Global Ship Lease).
As of June 30, 2025, GSL’s fleet had an average age of 17.7 years, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs and making the company’s vessels less attractive versus newer, more fuel-efficient ships (Global Ship Lease).
GSL’s weighted average forward charter cover is only 2.1 years, meaning beyond mid-2026 the company will face full exposure to spot charter rates, risking earnings if container freight markets weaken (Global Ship Lease).
