What makes up GLPI's 8.25% yield

GLPI paid $3.20 per share over the last twelve months against a share price of $38.79, which is where the 8.25% comes from. Special and one-off distributions are excluded from that figure — they do not recur, and including them would overstate every projection below.

Yields at this level usually have a structural explanation rather than a mispricing: the company is organised to distribute income rather than retain it. Worth checking how GLPI's current yield compares with its own history, since a sharp recent rise more often reflects a falling price than a raised payment.

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 GLPI pays, and what that changes

GLPI 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. GLPI's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

Is GLPI's dividend covered by earnings?

GLPI's payout ratio of 0.93 means about 93% of earnings are committed to the dividend. That is within earnings but a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, so a weaker year absorbs more of the cover.

Earnings in a regulated business are unusually steady, which makes this ratio more informative than the same figure struck on cyclical profits — there is less risk that it simply reflects a good year. The corresponding limit is that regulated returns are capped, so the retained portion funds slower growth than an unconstrained business could deliver.

The figures hold the dividend flat, and that assumption carries more weight for GLPI than it would for a lower-yielding holding. There is no established record of consecutive annual increases here, and at this yield a modest reduction in the payment changes the ten-year figure substantially.

GLPI dividend calculator FAQ

How much does $10,000 in GLPI pay in dividends?
At GLPI's current yield of 8.25%, $10,000 pays about $824.95 a year — roughly $206.24 per payment, paid quarterly, or $68.75 a month averaged out.
What would GLPI be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in GLPI would grow to about $22,627 after 10 years, against $18,250 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 GLPI pay dividends?
GLPI pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
Is GLPI'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 GLPI's full payment history before relying on any of it.
Why is GLPI's dividend yield so high?
GLPI yields 8.25% against a 2.92% median across US dividend payers. A yield is a ratio, so it rises either because the payment went up or because the share price came down — and the figure alone does not say which. As a REIT it is required to distribute most of its taxable income, so a high yield is structural here rather than a signal.
