# Diana Shipping inc. (DSX) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Marine. Price $3.01, market value $374 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 6.1×** (5-yr avg 13.2×, 3-yr avg 19.8×). Diana Shipping inc. trades at 6.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 13.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 5.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 0.6×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.7×**. Enterprise value is 8.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 14.4%** (5-yr avg 6.6%). Free cash flow equals 14.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 16.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 16.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 34.5%**. Diana Shipping inc. keeps 34.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 18.2%**. 18.2% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 8.3%**. 8.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.5%**. 3.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 3.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 3.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 5.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 5.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -6.4%** (3-yr -9.7%/yr, 5-yr 4.7%/yr). Revenue fell 6.4% over the last year, against 4.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 120.0%** (3-yr -56.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 120.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.04**. Debt is 1.04 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.9×**. It would take 4.9 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 1.1×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.1×: fragile.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 1.33%** ($0.04 per share, trailing). Diana Shipping inc. yields 1.33%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 26%**. 26% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 85.1%** (YTD 82.9%, 3-mo 29.2%). The shares are up 85.1% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -2.6%** (91.7% above the low). Trading within 5% of its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 74**. An RSI of 74 is in overbought territory; short-term pullbacks are common from here.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.39** (volatility 49%). Beta of 1.39 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
