Dorian LPG ($LPG) Q4 Earnings and Revenue Surpass Expectations; Revenue Doubles YoY

The quarterly results announced by Dorian LPG (NYSE: LPG) on Wednesday reflected stronger operational performance and financial growth compared with the prior-year period.

The company reported quarterly sales of $153.27 million, improving by 101.96% from $75.89 million reported during the same quarter last year and exceeding analyst estimates.
