Is MAA a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

Yield is above the market median5.16% against a median of 2.92% across US dividend payers.
Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 1.77 exceeds reported earnings, which is normal for a REIT: large depreciation charges push accounting earnings well below the cash the business actually collects. Analysts judge REIT dividends against funds from operations instead.
No annual reduction on recordAcross 32 complete years of payment history, the total paid has never fallen year on year.
Raised for 15 consecutive yearsA long record of increases suggests both the cash generation to fund them and a management commitment to maintaining them. This figure is derived from payment history and is approximate.
