Dividend coverage (FY2025)

Covered by reported results. In FY2025, NYT's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 32%, free-cash-flow payout 20%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.

  • Earnings payout32% dividends / net income
  • Free-cash-flow payout20% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)

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 New York Times Company looks technically

New York Times Company (NYT) is trading 9.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 40 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 24 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 52, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 12 trading days ago. It is 23.5% below its highest point of the past year.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($58.95 to $70.78) — its "stochastic" reading is 65 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 climbing within that range over the last few sessions.64.7

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $73.45.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 3 increased, 4 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".

Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale.

Short interest (FINRA)

NYT had 13,533,377 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).

Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for NYT because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

  • Reported short interest (shares) 13,533,377
  • Prior settlement (shares) 12,570,245
  • Reported change 7.66%
  • Days to cover (reported) 6.25

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 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.
