Four Days Left To Buy DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) Before The Ex-Dividend Date

DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is an important date to be aware of as any purchase of the stock made on or after this date might mean a late settlement that doesn't show on the record date. In other words, investors can purchase DHT Holdings' shares before the 20th of November in order to be eligible for the dividend, which will be paid on the 28th of November.

The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.19 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$0.48 to shareholders. Calculating the last year's worth of payments shows that DHT Holdings has a trailing yield of 4.6% on the current share price of $10.44. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.
