Federal Realty is one of the oldest REITs on the market, and with 58 years of consecutive dividend increases, it has a proven track record of providing passive income for investors. The company owns 102 mixed-use properties focused on retail in affluent areas, and it generates growth through higher lease rates and new properties.
At the current price, the dividend yields a high 3.7%, which is very attractive, especially for a Dividend King. Dividend Kings are prized for their dependable passive income, but their yields aren't always high.
A $10,000 investment gets investors 81 shares at the current price, and Federal Realty's dividend pays $1.13 per share quarterly, or $4.52 per share annually. That's only $366.12 in annual dividend payouts, which underscores why it's so important to save and invest over time. Ten thousand dollars invested in a dividend stock isn't anywhere near enough to support a retiree, but an investment in Federal Realty Trust can be an excellent component of a larger retirement portfolio.
