Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend currently yields 4.05%, making it one of the higher-yielding names in the industrials sector. Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Jingjiang, China, YSHLF builds containerships, dry bulk carriers, and LNG carriers for customers across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond. The trailing annual dividend rate stands at $1.0559 per share, with the next ex-dividend date set for May 7, 2026. A beta of 0.868 means YSHLF moves somewhat less than the broader market, which suits income investors who want yield without extreme price swings.
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. pays out 42.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings to fund shipbuilding operations, steel fabrication, and vessel ownership without straining the dividend. Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend safety faces its most direct test from the cyclical nature of commercial shipbuilding, where order volumes and vessel prices can shift sharply with global trade conditions. Nothing in the current payout ratio signals immediate pressure, but the industry's cyclicality is the key variable to watch.
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend history shows a CAGR of 9.0% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.0254 to $0.0931 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 94.8% in 2025, a single-year jump that accounts for much of the long-run headline rate. The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so the growth path has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +37.5% | $0.04 (2022) | $0.09 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +24.1% | $0.03 (2020) | $0.09 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +8.4% | $0.04 (2015) | $0.09 (2025) |
YSHLF fits dividend investors who prioritize current income from an industrial business with global shipbuilding exposure. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), and at 4.05% it sits well above the stock's own 5-year average yield of 1.38%, meaning today's income opportunity is materially larger than what the stock has historically offered. Five consecutive years of dividend increases add a degree of upward momentum, though the history includes past declines, so the streak is not unbroken over the full 19-year record. The trade-off is straightforward: investors get an above-average yield backed by a moderate payout ratio, but accept exposure to the cyclical swings of commercial shipbuilding demand.
