High-Dividend REITs by Reported Yield

A data screen of equity and mortgage REIT dividend yields

This high-dividend REIT list organizes Hoya Capital's covered real estate investment trusts by their reported dividend yields. It brings company identity, sector, market capitalization, yield, FFO payout ratio and payment frequency into one table. The purpose is to make the source observations readable together, with the selection rules and data date visible alongside the results.

The ranking is a screen of the database, not a judgment about whether a security belongs in a portfolio. A company appears because it satisfies the stated classification and yield rules and ranks within the page's size limit. The screen does not assess an investor's objectives, financial circumstances, risk tolerance or tax position, and it does not assign buy or sell ratings.

Equity REIT and mortgage REIT classifications are included. Non-REIT operating-company groups and fund records are excluded before ranking. The property-sector label helps distinguish the different kinds of records that remain in the screen; it should not be read as proof that two companies have identical businesses or financial reporting. Canadian REIT records can also appear because the dataset extends beyond US-listed companies.

The table presents the source payout ratio and payment frequency as context rather than selection scores. A missing payout entry is shown explicitly as Not reported, and no missing number is treated as zero. The yield display is rounded for readability, while the ranking uses the unrounded source values. Payment frequency is kept separate from dividend yield so a monthly payment label cannot be mistaken for a monthly return.

For a screen restricted to monthly payment labels, open the monthly dividend REIT list. The existing Top 25 page provides a separate view, and the REIT database and sector research pages offer broader company and property-sector context. All of these resources are informational. The methodology below explains the scope, exclusions and update convention for this particular list.
