National Storage REIT share dividends

Recently National Storage REIT has paid out, on average, around 33.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.91% of the current stock value.

In National Storage REIT's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.088 per share.
While National Storage REIT's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that National Storage REIT may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 December 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
