Five years ago, when the New York Times Company’s stock was trading at $45 and the equity was worth about $6.5 billion, the Sulzbergers’ stake was worth about $1.2 billion. In addition, the company was paying about $120 million a year in dividends, approximately $23 million of which accrued to the Sulzbergers—or $6 million each. (Nice!)

 

Alas, times have changed.

 

Now, with the New York Times Company’s stock trading at $3.50, the company’s equity is worth $500 million, which leaves the Sulzbergers with about $95 million, or about $25 million apiece. In addition, the company has just eliminated its dividend.
