U.S. Global Investors Declares Continued Monthly Dividend, Highlights Readiness as Geopolitical Tensions Rise

Company positioned to benefit from rising gold, energy and defense spending amid global instability

Mar. 13, 2026 at 3:28pm

U.S. Global Investors, Inc., a registered investment advisory firm with expertise in gold mining stocks and the airline industry, announced that it will continue its payment of monthly dividends. The company believes it is well-positioned amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, as periods of global instability have historically increased volatility across energy markets, strengthened demand for gold, and accelerated defense spending - all areas where the company maintains targeted exposure.

Why it matters

U.S. Global Investors' continued dividend payments and strategic positioning in gold, energy, and defense sectors demonstrate the firm's resilience and ability to capitalize on market trends driven by geopolitical events. This is particularly relevant as global public debt reaches record highs and nations prioritize national security spending over trade.

The details

The company's Board of Directors approved a $0.0075 per share per month dividend beginning in April 2026 and continuing through June 2026. Based on the March 11, 2026 closing price of $3.26, this monthly dividend represents an annualized yield of 2.76%. The company believes it is well-positioned to benefit from rising gold prices, energy market volatility, and increased defense spending, as these trends have historically occurred during periods of heightened global uncertainty.

  • The record dates for the dividend payments are April 13, May 11 and June 15, 2026.
  • The payment dates will be April 27, May 26 and June 29, 2026.
