Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own MSB 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 MSB pay a dividend?
- Mesabi Trust has historically paid quarterly, across 125 payments since April 1973.
- How much does MSB pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.05 per share, with an ex-date of July 30, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.20 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does MSB announce its dividend?
- A median of 15 days before the ex-date, across the 49 declarations we hold.
