- Pays: quarterly since 2026 — $0.3875 per share ($1.55 a year). It paid monthly from 2013 through December 2025.
- The January 2026 change: STAG raised the annual rate 4% ($1.49 → $1.55) and shifted from monthly to quarterly cadence at the same time — first quarterly payment record date March 31, 2026.
- Paying since: 2011 IPO; the Q3 2026 dividend of $0.3875 was declared July 27 (record September 30, payable October 15).
- What it is: an industrial REIT owning about 600 single-tenant warehouse and light-industrial buildings (~119M square feet across 41 states).
- Why the switch matters: for years STAG was the go-to industrial name on monthly-dividend lists; anyone still describing it as a monthly payer is a year out of date.
The chart's recent points look three times larger than the monthly era's — same annual money, paid in four pieces instead of twelve. Read the year-by-year table for the real trend, which is modest, steady growth.
STAG pays quarterly since 2026 (monthly before). Each point below is one dividend since 2011 — note the shift to larger, less frequent payments at the right edge.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $1.27 per share across 6 payments — down 14% from $1.48 in the 12 months before. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $1.36 — 7% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Dividend / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from STAG'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.

STAG built a loyal following as one of the few industrial REITs paying monthly. In January 2026 it traded that distinction for a simpler quarterly schedule — and paired the change with a 4% raise, so no one received less. The chart's shape changes abruptly at that point; the income line in the year-by-year table does not.
For monthly industrial-adjacent income the natural alternative is Realty Income; for the sector's growth leader compare VICI on the compare tool. Our calendar already reflects STAG's new quarterly rhythm.

When Is STAG's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
STAG pays quarterly (monthly until the end of 2025). 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 STAG's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Fifteen Years: Monthly, Then Quarterly
STAG listed in 2011, adopted monthly dividends in 2013, and paid them for thirteen years before the January 2026 move to a quarterly schedule. The chart above shows the whole span — a long run of small monthly points, then four larger ones a year — with a 4% raise folded into the transition.
Warehouses as Income
Industrial real estate has been the strongest property sector of the past decade, lifted by e-commerce logistics and re-shoring, and STAG's single-tenant portfolio turns that into steady lease income with modest annual growth. The dividend's history is quietly consistent rather than spectacular: raised most years, never cut, now simply paid less often.
Where STAG Fits
As a core industrial-REIT holding for growth-oriented income — no longer the monthly-paycheck name it was. For the monthly version of net-lease income, see O or EPR. Next expected date on the live calendar.
