In Natural Resource Partners's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.
While Natural Resource Partners's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Natural Resource Partners may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Natural Resource Partners's most recent dividend payout was on 25 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Natural Resource Partners shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Natural Resource Partners shares which in turn could have impacted Natural Resource Partners's share price.
