Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE:FPI), a real estate investment trust that acquires and manages farmland in the United States, announced a 50% increase to its quarterly dividend. The new dividend of $0.09 per share will be payable on April 15th to shareholders of record as of April 1st.

Why it matters

The dividend increase signals Farmland Partners' confidence in the strength of its farmland portfolio and its ability to generate stable cash flows. As a REIT, Farmland Partners is required to distribute the majority of its taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends.

The details

Farmland Partners has raised its dividend by an average of 0.5% per year over the last three years. However, the company's dividend payout ratio is currently 150%, indicating it is relying on its balance sheet to cover the dividend payments rather than fully funding them from earnings.

  • The new $0.09 per share dividend will be payable on April 15, 2026.
  • The ex-dividend date is April 1, 2026.
  • Shareholders of record as of April 1, 2026 will receive the dividend.
