U.S. Global Investors (NASDAQ:GROW) announced it will continue its monthly dividend payments, highlighting its positioning amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East following coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

The company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.0075 per share per month, scheduled for April through June 2026. Record dates are set for April 13, May 11, and June 15, with payment dates of April 27, May 26, and June 29.

Based on the March 11, 2026, closing price of $3.26 per share, the monthly dividend corresponds to an annualized yield of approximately 2.76%.

U.S. Global Investors noted that periods of geopolitical instability have historically influenced energy markets, demand for gold, and global defense spending, sectors in which it maintains investment exposure.

The firm offers several investment options tied to these trends. The U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: WAR) provides exposure to aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and cybersecurity companies.

The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE: GOAU), along with the firm’s actively managed gold mutual funds, focus on gold-related assets.

Additionally, the Global Resources Fund (PSPFX) invests in energy producers, including oil and natural gas exploration and production companies.

The company cited data showing that world military expenditures reached $2.7 trillion in 2024, up 9.4% from 2023, and global public debt is projected to reach 100% of global GDP by 2028. U.S. Global Investors noted these factors may influence demand for commodities and hard assets such as gold and silver.

Frank Holmes, U.S. Global Investors' CEO, highlighted that the company provides targeted exposure across real assets, energy, and defense technologies.

“Gold has historically served as a hedge during time of uncertainty, energy markets can react quickly to supply disruptions, and defense spending often rises when global instability increases,” Holmes said.

“We believe U.S. Global Investors is uniquely positioned at the intersection of these trends, offering investors targeted exposure to gold, energy and defense technologies.”
