EPR Properties, a real estate investment trust focused on experiential properties, announced that it will pay a monthly dividend of $0.31 per share on May 15th to shareholders of record as of April 30th. This represents an annualized dividend of $3.72 and a yield of 6.7%. The company has increased its dividend by an average of 0.2% per year over the last three years.

Why it matters

As a REIT, EPR Properties must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends. The company's high payout ratio indicates it is relying on its balance sheet to cover the dividend, which could be a concern for investors if earnings growth does not keep pace.

The details

EPR Properties announced the monthly dividend on April 15th. The ex-dividend date, when new investors will no longer be eligible for the payout, is set for April 30th. The dividend will be paid on May 15th to shareholders of record as of the ex-dividend date. Analysts expect EPR Properties to earn $4.76 per share next year, which would give the company a projected payout ratio of 78.2%.

The takeaway

EPR Properties' high dividend yield and track record of annual increases make it an attractive income investment, but the company's reliance on its balance sheet to cover the payout is a potential risk factor that bears watching.
