Earnings call transcript: BW LPG posts mixed Q2 2026 results as trading gains offset misses

BW LPG reported Q2 2026 earnings with EPS of $0.79 and profit of $120M, but missed shipping income guidance due to accounting adjustments. Trading gains and high fleet utilization offset the miss. The stock traded at $15.5, near its 52-week range. Management raised the dividend to $0.95 per share and expects continued market volatility. BW LPG guided Q3 fixed-rate coverage at $88,000 per day and maintained a strong liquidity position.
