Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, DHT's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 56%, operating-cash-flow payout 43%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout56% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout43% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items.

How DHT HOLDINGS INC looks technically
DHT HOLDINGS INC (DHT) is trading 21.7% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 314 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 12, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 62, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day high about 3 trading days ago. It is 3.9% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year).
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 21.7% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +21.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $18.22 | $18.22 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $16.29 | $16.29 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 51 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 51 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes below 16.335. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a three-part correction in leg C. | possible upward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 314 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 314 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 12, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend | 11.7 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 62, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 62.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($17.76 to $20.62) — its "stochastic" reading is 72 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 72.0 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 7 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $20.62 | $20.62 |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $226.39 (set on 2007-07-19) | $226.39 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($10.72 to $19.99), and it has given back essentially none of its rise from last year’s low — 2% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $13.96 to $14.26. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 1.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 91.2% below its all-time high | -91.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 5.1% above a support level at $18.80 — a price it turned at three times since 2026-03-24, most recently on 2026-04-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 0 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -5.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $3.27 (set on 2018-02-06) | $3.27 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 506.1% above its all-time low | +506.1% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 41st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.7105 between its high and its low — about 3.6% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.7105 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $17.61 and $19.99 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $17.61 – $18.80 – $19.99 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.6% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 3.6% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.0 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (21.7% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.0 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 1 session ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 1 session ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 7 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 7 sessions ago |
| Since a bearish engulfing | 9 sessions ago it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | 9 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.0% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +1.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.3% above the previous close 35 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 16.53 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +3.3% |
| Gap filled | a 5.6% gap down opened on 2026-08-17 has been "filled" 2 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 2 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 9.6% above the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thin, spanning 1.1% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | +9.6% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 13% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $17.54 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +13.0% |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $16.34.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $20.54 and $23.14 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close below $16.34.
This labelling was already in place when we began recording count changes on 2026-08-13, so how long it has stood is not something we can say yet.

- Consensus EPS estimate$1.04 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-19
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for DHT — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
DHT had 10,521,403 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for DHT because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 10,521,403
- Prior settlement (shares) 9,571,073
- Reported change 9.93%
- Days to cover (reported) 4.46
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
