SBLKStar Bulk Carriers Corp.
What is the market doing?
No clear lean: nothing decisive, though insiders cluster-buying.
Choppy, but holding above its 200-day average. Price is +19% vs its 200-day average.
Multiple insiders bought with their own money, the strongest form of the signal (the 90 days ending Oct 8, 2026).
Lightly shorted, settled Sep 15, 2026, a few days of normal trading to cover. Up 61% since the previous count, up from 2.0% of shares outstanding three months ago.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
