How JRI's dividend compares
Across the 584 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.75%. JRI's 12.68% is 8.93 percentage points above that median, ranking 121st of 584 by yield.
Within Financial Services, where we track 102 names, the median yield is 9.22% — putting JRI 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.
Its 2-year run of dividend increases ranks 283rd out of the 354 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
JRI pays out roughly 90% of its earnings as dividends. That is a high payout ratio. The dividend is consuming most of reported earnings, which is normal for REITs and some funds but a caution flag elsewhere.
JRI pays monthly, which suits investors who want dividend income to line up with monthly living expenses rather than arriving in quarterly lumps.
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.
