Insights

Mesabi Trust’s new $0.26 distribution is sharply below last year’s $5.95 level.

Mesabi Trust has declared a distribution of $0.26 per Unit of Beneficial Interest, payable on February 20, 2026 to holders of record on January 30, 2026. For income-oriented holders, the key comparison is that the same period last year carried a $5.95 per Unit distribution.

This represents a very large reduction in cash paid out per unit year over year. Because Mesabi Trust is typically viewed as an income vehicle, such a decline can materially change expectations around near-term cash flows for unitholders.

The filing does not provide the operational or financial drivers behind this change; those details are referenced as being in the accompanying press release dated January 16, 2026. Subsequent company communications may further clarify how sustainable the new payout level is relative to future periods.
