EGP with dividends reinvested
$10,000 in EGP, every dividend reinvested, holding the payment and share price flat. Deliberately conservative — most calculators assume years of uninterrupted growth, and that assumption drives most of the result.

What makes up EGP's 3.08% yield
EGP paid $6.20 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $201.52, which is where the 3.08% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.
A yield close to the market median is the least informative figure on this page — it is what most payers look like. What separates EGP from the rest of that group is the schedule it pays on, the record behind the payment and what funds it, covered below.
REITs are required to distribute the large majority of their taxable income to keep their tax status, which is why the yield is high by construction rather than by choice. It also means the payout ratio reads badly against accounting earnings: depreciation charges on property push reported earnings well below the cash actually collected, so the dividend is judged against funds from operations instead.
When EGP pays, and what that changes
EGP pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.
Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. EGP's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
Is EGP's dividend covered by earnings?
EGP's payout ratio of 1.06 exceeds reported earnings, which is normal rather than alarming for a REIT: depreciation on property is a large non-cash charge that pushes accounting earnings well below the cash the business collects. The ratio is close to meaningless here, and the dividend is judged against funds from operations instead.
These projections hold the dividend flat, which understates EGP if its recent record continues — the payment has increased in each of the last 14 years. Growth is left out rather than estimated because choosing a growth rate, not the arithmetic, is what determines a decade-long projection.
EGP dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in EGP pay in dividends?
- At EGP's current yield of 3.08%, $10,000 pays about $307.66 a year — roughly $76.92 per payment, paid quarterly, or $25.64 a month averaged out.
- What would EGP be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in EGP would grow to about $13,586 after 10 years, against $13,077 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.
- How often does EGP pay dividends?
- EGP pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is EGP's dividend guaranteed?
- No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check EGP's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Has EGP increased its dividend every year?
- EGP has raised its dividend in each of the last 14 years on our records, which are derived from split-adjusted payment history and are approximate. The projections above deliberately ignore that growth and hold the payment flat, so a continuation of the record would put the real outcome above the figures shown.
