Strong net margin (47.4%).

Revenue (FY2025) $1.04B · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~108% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

Danaos Corp shows $1.04B in FY2025 revenue (+2.8% YoY), a 47.4% net margin, and 13.0% ROE.

Supporting the case: strong net margin (47.4%); conservative balance sheet (liabilities/equity 0.35x); undemanding valuation (P/E 4.6).
