ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.

We hold 28 payments for it, going back to November 2019 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares.

Special dividends
Payments well outside GNK's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.
| Ex-date | Amount |

| Nov 20, 2019 | $0.50 |
Frequently asked questions
- When will GNK announce its next dividend?
- We expect Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd to declare its next dividend around November 3, 2026 (the week of November 2, 2026), a high-quality forecast. This is when the board is expected to declare the dividend, not when the stock goes ex-dividend.
- Do I need to own GNK before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does GNK pay a dividend?
- Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd has historically paid quarterly, across 28 payments since November 2019.
- How much does GNK pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.80 per share, with an ex-date of August 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $3.20 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does GNK announce its dividend?
- A median of 12 days before the ex-date, across the 28 declarations we hold.
