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

21.05%

unusually high

$0.36 dividend per share over the last twelve months on a price of $1.71

Today 21.05%, on average over fiscal years 2016 to 2025 6.78% (range 4.74 to 17.92%). That is higher than in each of the last 10 fiscal years.

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

  • 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.

Early warning sign

A high yield, a fallen price and a payout above earnings: this combination often comes before a dividend cut. Whether it happens, the yield alone cannot tell.
