That 12% dividend increase compared to 2021 happens to be higher than the inflation rate. So AREIT investors have not lost their purchasing power if you only consider the dividend income. These are real returns on your money.

As a long term income investor, I consider dividend per share (DPS) growth as one of the most important metrics in a REIT – far more than stock price appreciation or the dividend yield.

I have attached their press release below. Its worth noting that their growth target remains to be 100,000 sqm of GLA every year for the next 3 years and total shareholder return (stock price plus dividends) of 10-12% yearly.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have several ways to raise capital to purchase properties:

Equity offerings: REITs can raise capital by issuing new shares of stock to the public in an initial public offering (IPO) or follow-on offering. This allows them to raise a large amount of capital quickly, but it can also dilute the value of existing shares.

Dividend yield is the ratio of dividends paid per share to the stock price. Focusing solely on the dividend yield when it comes to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) may not be the best approach for several reasons:

The dividend yield can fluctuate: REITs are subject to fluctuations in interest rates, economic conditions, and the overall performance of the real estate market and stock market. Dividend yields can fluctuate daily as a result and it is important to assess whether a lower dividend yield actually translates to lower quarterly dividends received. A lower yield could have happened because the stock price increased – and that is not a bad thing!
