- Pays: quarterly — $0.25 per share, unchanged since the third quarter of 2021.
- Paying since: 2013 (as New Residential Investment Corp.; renamed Rithm Capital and re-tickered NRZ → RITM in August 2022).
- The COVID cut: $0.50 → $0.05 in the first quarter of 2020 — a 90% reduction — then rebuilt in steps: $0.10, $0.15, $0.20 through 2020, and $0.25 from Q3 2021.
- What it is: a hybrid mortgage REIT and asset manager built on mortgage servicing rights, with origination and servicing (Newrez), real-estate lending (Genesis) and alternatives management (Sculptor). Not an agency-MBS REIT.
- No splits: the only corporate event was the 2022 name and ticker change — some data feeds mislabel it as a split.
The dividend is still half its pre-2020 level, and the company has transformed since — from a leveraged REIT into a diversified financial firm whose earnings increasingly come from fees and servicing. Multiple preferred series rank ahead of the common.
RITM pays quarterly. Each point below is one dividend since 2013 — the 2020 cliff and the staircase back are the page's honest shape.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $1.00 per share across 4 payments — up 0% from $1.00 in the 12 months before (split-adjusted, in today's share terms). What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $1.00 — 0% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: down 20% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 53 payments over 13 years; the largest single payment was $0.5 (Dec 2013), split-adjusted.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Dividend / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from RITM's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
March 2020 is the defining moment on this chart: a $0.50 dividend slashed to $0.05 as mortgage markets seized. What followed is the more interesting story — four raises in eighteen months to $0.25, then five years of holding it while the company rebuilt itself around mortgage servicing rights, whose value rises when rates rise and refinancing slows. That makes Rithm a natural hedge to the agency REITs, which suffer in the same weather.

When Is RITM's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
RITM pays quarterly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from RITM's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Thirteen Years, One Cliff
Rithm has paid quarterly since 2013, and for years the dividend was a generous $0.50. The 2020 cut to $0.05 was among the deepest in the sector; the recovery to $0.25 by 2021 was among the fastest. Since then the number hasn't moved — five years of $0.25 while the business underneath changed shape.
From Mortgage REIT to Financial Firm
The modern Rithm owns a mortgage originator and servicer, a real-estate lender, and an alternative asset manager alongside its servicing-rights portfolio. Earnings increasingly come from fees and operations rather than leveraged spread — a steadier foundation, but one that doesn't automatically translate into dividend growth. The $0.25, half the old rate, reflects that balance.
Where RITM Fits
As the mortgage-REIT name that hedges the others — rising rates hurt agency books and help servicing rights. For the pure agency expressions see AGNC and DX. Next expected date on the live calendar.
