Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend comes from one of China's largest commercial shipbuilders, with operations spanning containerships, dry bulk carriers, and LNG carriers across global markets. The stock currently yields 3.82%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.0498 per share paid annually. The next ex-dividend date is 2026-05-07, with the last dividend amount at $0.1579 per share. A beta of 0.868 means YSHLF moves less than the broader market, which suits dividend investors who want income 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, supported by a diversified business that spans shipbuilding, ship repair, steel structure fabrication, and ownership of a tank terminal. Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from the cyclical nature of vessel construction demand, where order volumes can shift sharply with global trade conditions.
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.0% per year from 2008 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.0183 to $0.0931 over that span (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 102.3% in 2022, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +37.5% | $0.04 (2022) | $0.09 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +41.2% | $0.02 (2020) | $0.09 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +15.6% | $0.02 (2015) | $0.09 (2025) |
YSHLF stock fits dividend investors who want a moderate yield from an industrial business with genuine growth momentum. The current yield of 3.82% sits well above the 5-year average of 1.13%, a gap that reflects how much the dividend has accelerated in recent years. The yield classification is moderate (2–4%), and the 42.5% payout ratio leaves room to sustain payments without straining the balance sheet. Five consecutive years of dividend increases add to the picture. The trade-off is cyclicality: shipbuilding demand is tied to global trade, and the history table already shows past declines, so income here is not immune to the sector's ups and downs.
