Is WPC 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 median5.61% against a median of 2.97% across US dividend payers.
- Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 1.25 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.
- Dividend has been cut onceAcross 28 complete years, the annual total fell in 2024. The most recent reduction was in 2024.
