Constantin Baack, CEO of MPC Containers (OTCPK:MPZZF), a leading small-sized containership lessor, joined J Mintzmyer's\xa0Value Investor's Edge Live\xa0in June 2021 to discuss the surging containership markets and company strategy to benefit from these elevated market levels.
Although MPCC is not currently listed in the US markets, there's sufficient trading liquidity on the Oslo Exchange under the stock symbol "MPCC" and they're considering a potential US-listing if market conditions remain favorable and their market capitalization exceeds $1B.
For more particular information on MPC Containers, I highly recommend reviewing their\xa0latest investor presentation, which was updated on June 22. MPCC is set to publish Q2-21 earnings results on Aug. 19.
For readers and listeners primarily interested in US-listed names, the primary comps include Atlas Corp. (ATCO), Costamare (CMRE), Danaos Corp (DAC), Euroseas (ESEA), Global Ship Lease (GSL), and Navios Maritime Partners (NMM). Included market content should be relevant for investors in all of these names.
