American Homes 4 Rent Raises Quarterly Dividend 10% to $0.33, Sets Preferred Distributions

Payout lift underscores AMH's confidence in rental business

Board boosts common dividend, sets preferred distributions

American Homes 4 Rent (AMH) is raising its quarterly common dividend to $0.33 a share for the first quarter of 2026, the company announces on Feb. 12, 2026, marking a 10% increase from the prior quarterly rate of $0.30. The dividend is payable in cash on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 13, 2026, underscoring the REIT’s move to return more cash to holders as it manages a large single-family rental portfolio.

The board also declares quarterly preferred distributions, payable in cash on March 31 to holders of record on March 13. Distributions are set at $0.36719 per share for the company’s 5.875% Series G cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred and $0.39063 per share for the 6.250% Series H shares. The simultaneous setting of common and preferred payments signals a routine schedule for AMH’s income returns while maintaining capital plan visibility for holders of both classes.

Company statements frame the dividend increase as consistent with operational cash flow and capital allocation priorities, but they emphasize that payments remain subject to board discretion, prevailing cash flow and legal constraints. AMH includes customary cautionary language that forward‑looking statements, including anticipated timing and payment of distributions, carry risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ, and it directs investors to its SEC filings for full risk factors and distribution policies.
