Navigator Holdings' 54-vessel gas fleet β€” 41 Handysize, 5 Midsize, 5 Ethylene and 3 across 1 other class β€” should earn about $33,946 a day in 2026Q3 and pay $0.07 a share. That is our forecast (PATTERN).

Price and the yield it implied

Daily share price in dollars with the annualised yield each declared dividend implied: 270 points, 2025-09-22 to 2026-10-16; NVGS share price latest 21.33; Implied annual yield (% p.a., right) latest 1.31.

image/svg+xml Oct 2026 Apr Jul Oct 14 16 18 20 22 24 21 NVGS share price Implied annual yield (% p.a., right) 1.30 1.40 1.50 1.60 1.70 1.31 USD % p.a.

Latest: 2026-Q2 declared $0.07/share on 2026-08-04, 1.3% annualised against the $21.41 close that day.

The continuous line is the daily closing price in dollars β€” the raw close, not a dividend-adjusted one, which would back-adjust away the very payouts being measured. The second line carries 4 declared dividends and is marked nowhere else β€” each annualised ×4 and divided by the close on, or last before, the day it was declared. A quarter with no dividend has no mark. The segments between the marks connect them; they are not measured. This is what the share yielded at the time, not what those dividends would yield at today's price. Prices start 2025-09-22, so anything declared before then is not plotted.

How we got the number

How to read this page

Every figure here is built the same way: the fleet's vessel-days are priced at the rate its classes earned, costs and debt service come off, and what is left is measured against the dividend the company actually declared. Nothing is estimated where it can be sourced, and a number that cannot be sourced is withheld rather than filled in. The full method, and the rates behind it β†’

Where NVGS departs from that

  • No market index covers this fleet's vessel types, so each is priced at the company's own last realized rate per calendar vessel-day (revenue divided by vessel-days), held flat β€” the revenue track record shows how that has done.
  • Weak OLS fit RΒ²=0.29.
  • Vessel-days are modelled from the fleet list (ships Γ— days in the quarter); no issuer day count is curated for this quarter.
  • HANDYSIZE: no index and no guidance β€” priced at the issuer's own last realized fleet rate $33,946/day (2026Q2, issuer_printed), held flat (owner ruling 2026-09-26).
  • Midsize: no index and no guidance β€” priced at the issuer's own last realized fleet rate $33,946/day (2026Q2, issuer_printed), held flat (owner ruling 2026-09-26).

Revenue model track record model vs realized
