WorkBoat stocks, fresh off a 7% gain in 2020, began the new year with a 2% increase in January. For the month, winners topped losers by a ratio of 2-1. Kirby Corp. lost over 2% in January. The Houston-based tank barge operator reported in late January that fourth-quarter net earnings rose compared to a year ago, but revenues, affected by the pandemic, were down. Revenues for the 2020 fourth quarter were $489.8 million compared with $655.9 million in the 2019 fourth quarter. David Grzebinski, Kirby's president and CEO, told analysts during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call on Jan. 28 that "the reality is that we are still in the midst of a global pandemic." |
