    Dividend declarations put Costamare back in focus

    Costamare (CMRE) has declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.125 per common share for the September 2026 quarter, alongside cash distributions on its Series B, C and D preferred shares.

    Costamare’s latest dividend news comes after a softer patch for the share price, with the stock down over the past week and year to date. It is still trading around US$15.12 and carrying a 1 year total shareholder return of about 43.7%.

    Costamare has paired a rich 1 year total return with softer recent trading and a fresh dividend call. The key question is whether that mix still leaves enough upside to justify the risk at today’s price once valuation is in focus.

    Most Popular Narrative: 24% Undervalued

    Costamare’s most followed valuation story pins fair value at $20, above the recent $15.12 close. This keeps the focus squarely on whether contracted cash flows justify that gap.

    The earlier view that long term charters and forward fixtures could support elevated expectations is now reinforced by contracted revenues of about US$6.2b with a remaining TEU weighted charter duration of 6.1 years and revenue days fixed 97% for 2026 and 94% for 2027, which can underpin visibility for revenue and earnings.

    See why 8 investors see Costamare as 24% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $20 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the narrative can crack if Costamare earnings underwhelm after a softer first quarter in 2026 or if its US$0.7b capital program strains cash generation.

    Our DCF model presents a different picture. On this framework, Costamare at US$15.12 sits above an estimated future cash flow value of about US$12.81, which screens as overvalued rather than cheap.
