Fate of U S Steel dividend rate hangs in the balance
New York July 26 AP Memories of the late J Pierpont Morgan were invoked today as the fate of the dividend rate on the pay preferred stock of United States Steel Corp hung in the balance. Directors debated omitting the regular $1.75 per share quarterly payment while earnings lag. The company posted a first quarter deficit of 13.219 million, and 1981 earnings were 8.62 per share against a 7 annual per share requirement on $360.28 million of preferred stock. Proponents of keeping the dividend cited cost cuts, plant modernization, and workforce reductions while production remained below normal levels, arguing steady payments sustain investor confidence.
