Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE:IIPR), a real estate investment trust focused on the regulated U.S. cannabis industry, announced it will issue a quarterly dividend of $1.90 per share on April 15th to shareholders of record as of March 31st. This represents a c) annualized dividend and a dividend yield of 14.4%.

Why it matters

Innovative Industrial Properties has raised its dividend payment by an average of 0.1% per year over the last three years, demonstrating its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The high dividend yield also makes the stock attractive to income-oriented investors, despite the company's reliance on its balance sheet to cover the dividend payments.

The details

Innovative Industrial Properties has increased its dividend annually for the last 4 consecutive years. The company's payout ratio of 176.7% indicates it is currently unable to fully cover the dividend with earnings alone. However, analysts expect the company to earn $8.84 per share next year, which would bring the payout ratio down to a more sustainable 86.0%.

  • Shareholders of record on Tuesday, March 31st will be paid the $1.90 per share dividend on Wednesday, April 15th.
  • The ex-dividend date is Tuesday, March 31st.
