Mesabi Trust (NYSE:MSB), established in 1961 under New York law, is a royalty trust that earns income from the Peter Mitchell Mine, an iron ore site near Babbitt, Minnesota, on the eastern side of the Mesabi Iron Range. The mine is run by Northshore Mining Company, which operates as a subsidiary of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (CCI), under several agreements.

Mesabi Trust (NYSE:MSB)’s financial standing has improved significantly, particularly following its legal win over Cleveland-Cliffs. As of the latest quarter, it held $24.22 million in cash. Over the trailing twelve months, it generated $93.51 million in operating cash flow and $17.58 million in levered free cash flow.

On July 14, Mesabi Trust (NYSE:MSB) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, down from $0.30 per share dividend announced during the same period last year. The latest distribution announcement reflects several additional considerations, such as ongoing volatility in the iron ore and steel markets, broader economic uncertainty both nationally and globally, potential shifts in trade regulations, and the impact of unfairly traded import volumes. With a dividend yield of 23.9%, as of July 27, MSB is one of the best stocks with the highest dividend.
