Dividend payout ratio: 2.88% of net profits
Recently Diana Shipping has paid out, on average, around 2.88% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 15.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Diana Shipping shareholders could enjoy a 15.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Diana Shipping's case, that would currently equate to about $0.375 per share.
While Diana Shipping's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Diana Shipping is investing more in its future growth.
Diana Shipping's most recent dividend payout was on 29 August 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Diana Shipping's shares were split on a 117:112 basis on 23 November 2023. So if you had owned 112 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 117 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Diana Shipping shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Diana Shipping shares which in turn could have impacted Diana Shipping's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Diana Shipping's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.14 up to $3.2583. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Diana Shipping's is 1.124. This would suggest that Diana Shipping's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
