The amounts for the last 12 months and for fiscal 2025 differ if the company has raised or cut its dividend since then.

For real estate investment trusts (REITs) what counts is funds from operations (FFO and AFFO). The P/E and the payout ratio of earnings say little here, because depreciation on properties depresses earnings. The ratio above is therefore based on free cash flow.

Is today's dividend yield unusually high?

Dividend yield today

8.18%

higher than usual

$1.80 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $22.00

Today 8.18%, on average over fiscal years 2016 to 2025 5.66% (range 4.38 to 9.50%).

The yield is above what was usual in recent fiscal years. Whether the price fell or the dividend rose is shown by the reason further down.

Since the end of fiscal 2025 on 31 Dec 2025, the dividend has fallen and the price has risen, so the yield has fallen, mainly because of the dividend.

  • Fiscal year
  • Today, last 12 months

For each fiscal year, the dividend per share for that year divided by the closing price on the last trading day of the fiscal year. The dashed line is the average (median) of the fiscal years.
