DSX ex-dividend on 8/16 (2.7%)
Diana Shipping, a dry bulk transporter, will pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.35 on August 31 to holders as of Wednesday, August 16 (taxed as earning dividend). That’s 2.7% of the share price of $13.050, or a 11% annual yield. Shipping rates have been highly volatile in the last few years, but tanker rates have been stronger than expected recently. DSX will benefit sooner or later.
