Method: Net asset value model with governance discount: $109.0M net cash plus an estimated $63.2M fleet value (4x TTM EBITDA of $15.8M, a typical dry-bulk shipping multiple) for a gross NAV of $172.2M, discounted 70% to $51.6M to reflect severe capital-allocation and dilution risk, divided by 9.66M shares outstanding.

Reasoning: Castor Maritime's balance sheet net cash alone ($109M) already exceeds its entire market capitalization, so a net-asset-value approach anchored on hard balance sheet assets is more informative than a cash-flow DCF for this name; a steep discount to gross NAV is applied because the company has a well-documented history of large, dilutive share issuances (shares outstanding up over 500% year-over-year) used to fund related-party vessel purchases, which has historically destroyed per-share value even when reported aggregate earnings or cash balances looked strong.
