How ABR's dividend compares
Across the 713 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.93%. ABR's 13.10% is 9.17 percentage points above that median, ranking 148th of 713 by yield.
Within Real Estate, where we track 73 names, the median yield is 6.15% — putting ABR above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
What the numbers mean
ABR pays out roughly 12% of its earnings as dividends. That is a conservative payout ratio, leaving substantial room to keep raising the dividend or absorb a weak year.
Like most US dividend payers, ABR distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
