REIT dividends
Real estate investment trusts — companies that own income-producing property and must distribute most of their taxable income to keep their tax treatment.
A REIT is a corporate structure with a tax trade built into it. In exchange for distributing at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders, the company avoids tax at the corporate level, so rental profits are taxed once — in your hands — instead of twice. That requirement, not generosity, is why REIT yields sit structurally above the rest of the equity market.
It also means the usual safety check does not work. Property is depreciated heavily for accounting purposes even when it is holding or gaining value, which pushes GAAP earnings per share far below the cash the buildings actually throw off. A REIT routinely shows a payout ratio above 100% of earnings while paying comfortably out of cash flow. The industry measures itself with funds from operations, which adds depreciation back and strips out property sale gains, and adjusted FFO, which further subtracts the recurring capital spending needed to keep the buildings leasable. If you take one thing from this page, take that: read FFO or AFFO coverage, not the payout column.
Not all REITs own buildings. Mortgage REITs own loans and mortgage securities and earn the spread between what those assets yield and what it costs to fund them, usually with leverage. Their income is an interest-rate spread, not rent, and it can compress or invert quickly when short-term funding costs move — which is why their yields are typically the highest in this table and their distribution histories the least stable.
Tax treatment differs too. Most REIT distributions are ordinary income rather than qualified dividends, although the ordinary portion may be eligible for the Section 199A deduction, and part of a distribution is often return of capital that reduces your basis instead of being taxed now. The split arrives on the 1099-DIV after year end, so the tax character of a REIT dividend is not known with certainty at the moment it is paid.
The list
Every security in our database matching this list's filter. Click a ticker for its full payment history.
Our payment history for a security begins wherever the data provider's history begins — often the early 1970s — so a rising-year figure in this table counts only the years we can see: an issuer may have raised its dividend for decades before our first stored payment, which means the numbers here are frequently shorter than the record the company itself reports, and the issuer's own investor-relations page is the authority on that record.
The table below lists 100 of the 171 securities matching this filter. Ranked on the forward yield estimate. For REITs the trailing column is often the more informative of the two, because variable and supplemental distributions are common and the forward estimate annualises only the most recent regular payment. Each row shows the structure of the security, its sector, the latest stored price and market capitalisation, both yield bases, the forward dividend per share, the payment schedule, the number of rising years visible in our own payment history and the next ex-dividend date after today. It is a research screen, not a recommendation.

† A figure marked with a dagger is a floor, not a total. The rising run reaches the first year of payment history we hold for that security, so the count stops where our data stops rather than where the company's record does — the real record is longer by an amount we cannot see from here. Check the issuer's investor-relations page, which publishes its own dividend history, before quoting any of these numbers as a company record.
Data as of Aug 25, 2026.
Prices and market capitalisations last refreshed Aug 25, 2026; the yields, streaks and next ex-dates beside them were derived Aug 25, 2026. Nothing here is a live quote.
How this list is built
This page is a single filter applied to the same database that drives every other table on the site: a security qualifies or it does not, and the order is set by the column named in the section heading. Nothing is hand-picked, promoted or paid for, and no position on the page implies anything about the merits of the security in it.
Yields, payment schedules, rising-year counts and payout ratios are all computed from the quotes and individual payments we store, so any figure here can be checked against the payment list on the security's own page. That also sets the limit on the rising-year column: it counts within the payments we hold and stops where they start, so for a long-established payer it is a floor and the issuer's own investor-relations page is the authority on the company's record. Where we hold no data — a missing payout ratio, an unknown next ex-date — the cell is blank rather than filled with an estimate. The next ex-date column shows only dates strictly after today, because a security going ex today is already trading without that payment. The methodology page sets out every definition in full.
Where each number on this page comes from. Price, market capitalisation and the security's name, sector and industry: Financial Modeling Prep, quote and company-screener endpoints, stored daily by pipeline/quotes.py and weekly by pipeline/universe.py. Individual dividend payments — amount, ex-date, record date, pay date and whether the payment was regular or special: Financial Modeling Prep, dividends endpoint, stored by pipeline/dividends_fmp.py. Payout ratio: Financial Modeling Prep, ratios-ttm endpoint, stored by pipeline/fundamentals.py and measured against GAAP earnings per share. Everything else — the forward yield estimate, the trailing twelve-month yield, the payment cadence, the count of rising years and the first year of history it could be counted from, the five-year growth rate, the next ex-date and the research score — is computed on this server by pipeline/compute.py from those stored payments and prices. No vendor's own yield field is printed anywhere in this section, which is why every figure here can be traced back to a list of individual payments on the security's own page.
