Dividend Information About Equity Lifestyle Properties: Everything You Need to Know Before Its Exdividend Date on Sep 26, 2025

Equity Lifestyle Properties is set to distribute a cash dividend of $0.515 per share to shareholders, with the ex-dividend date scheduled for Sep 26, 2025. Shareholders must own the stock by the close of trading on this date to receive the dividend, which will be paid on Oct 10, 2025. This upcoming payout is higher than the average of the last 10 dividend amounts, which stood at approximately $0.4097 per share. The company announced the dividend on Jul 29, 2025, following its last payout of $0.515 per share on Jul 11, 2025. The consistent cash dividend reflects the company’s commitment to rewarding its investors through its REIT structure, which primarily operates manufactured home communities, RV resorts, and marinas across the U.S. and Canada.

Over the past week, several key developments have impacted Equity Lifestyle Properties and its market perception. Exchange Traded Concepts LLC significantly increased its holdings in the company by 68% during the second quarter, indicating a growing confidence in its long-term value. Additionally, the company recently reported Q2 2025 earnings, posting funds from operations (FFO) of $0.69 per share, in line with expectations, but falling short on revenue with $376.87 million, below the estimated $382.05 million. This performance has sparked discussions among analysts about the company’s ability to meet its full-year guidance, which includes net income per share between $1.94 and $2.04 and normalized FFO per share between $3.01 and $3.11.

As of late, Equity Lifestyle Properties has also been removed from the FTSE All-World Index, a move that could affect its exposure to global investors and influence its stock liquidity. Despite this, the company maintains a strong dividend history, with a current yield of 3.41% and a forward annual dividend of $2.06 per share. Analysts have maintained a “Buy” consensus rating, with a price target of $71.04, suggesting more than 17% upside potential from the current stock price.

In recent trading, the stock has shown mixed performance, closing at $60.56 on Sep 19, 2025, up 0.38% for the day but down 1.51% over the last five trading days. While its short-term volatility continues, the company’s fundamentals remain resilient, with strong demand in its niche markets and a consistent track record of dividend payments. Investors should also note that the ex-dividend date is Sep 26, 2025, which is the last day to purchase the stock and qualify for the upcoming dividend. Any purchase after this date will not be eligible for the current payout.
