Digital Realty Trust (DLR) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 87 recorded DLR dividend payments, running from December 29, 2004 to June 15, 2026 — 23 calendar years. Together those payments total $70.31 per share. DLR has most often paid quarterly.
DLR's payment rate did not increase in the most recent complete year, so its growth streak currently stands at zero.
Over the last five complete years the DLR payment rate compounded at +1.7% a year, and +3.7% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
Across 23 years of recorded history, DLR's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

How this growth is measured
Year-over-year growth here compares each year's median payment with the year before, not the calendar-year total. Ex-dividend dates drift, so a quarterly payer can book five ex-dates in one calendar year and four in the next. Comparing raw yearly totals would show a phantom cut of around 25% in a year where the company did nothing but pay slightly earlier. Using the median payment removes that distortion, and also ignores one-off special dividends.
Years marked “timing” booked a different number of payments than DLR's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
