Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. dividend comes from the largest dedicated owner of Medical Office Buildings (MOBs) in the United States, with roughly 25.1 million square feet of gross leasable area across 20 to 25 gateway markets. The current yield stands at 1.11%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.3250 per share paid quarterly. The most recent ex-dividend date was July 5, 2022. HTA's beta of 0.627 points to below-average price volatility, which suits income investors who prioritize steadiness over maximum yield.
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. pays out 4,013.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That figure is extreme by any measure, and Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. dividend safety cannot be assessed from earnings coverage alone given this level. The most significant data-supported pressure point is that a payout ratio this far above 100% leaves virtually no earnings buffer if operating conditions tighten.
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.7% per year from 2013 to 2022. Per-share payments grew from $0.2157 to $0.3250 over that window. The largest annual increase in the window was 106.9% in 2016, which skews the average upward and masks the fact that growth in most individual years was far more modest.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Year | -11.5% | $0.60 (2016) | $0.33 (2022) |
HTA stock fits dividend investors who want exposure to medical office real estate with below-average price swings, not those chasing maximum income. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.11%, and no 5-year average yield is available for comparison. The 4.7% annual dividend growth rate over nine years is real but slow, and the 4,013.4% payout ratio raises questions about earnings coverage that the yield alone does not answer. What an investor gets here is a specialized MOB-focused REIT with a low-volatility profile; what they accept is a thin yield and a payout structure that warrants scrutiny.
