ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaos Corporation, one of the world's largest independent owners of containerships (the "Company") (NYSE: DAC), today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The dividend is payable on October 22, 2026, to holders of record as of the close of business on October 13, 2026.

Four US-listed shipping stocks are flashing yields as high as 9%, but the contracts, balance sheets, and payout histories behind those numbers tell very different stories about which ones can actually sustain them.

Shares of shipping companies have surged to their highest levels in a decade or more, as a prolonged crisis in the Strait of Hormuz squeezes the global supply of vessels. The rally is being driven by disruption, as freight rates and stock prices soar.

Danaos NYSE: DAC reported higher second-quarter earnings as strength in its dry bulk segment offset largely stable container vessel revenue, while the company expanded its contracted revenue backlog to a record $4.6 billion.
