Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE:ADC) operates only in the retail space and owns a smaller portfolio than its competitors. Although its properties are adequate for diversification, its comparatively smaller size is an advantage in itself. The company is able to grow more rapidly with less investment, with growth being simpler from its current position. This has been a significant advantage for dividend growth-oriented shareholders, as the firm’s dividend rose by approximately 66% within the last decade.

Looking forward, Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE:ADC) will be making an approximate $1.5 billion investment in real estate in 2025. With steady portfolio growth and solid tenant relationships— backed by average lease durations of over eight years— the company is set to be a consistent and reliable monthly dividend grower for the long haul.

Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE:ADC) initiated quarterly dividend payments to its shareholders, which changed in 2021 with the company adopting monthly payments. It now has a monthly dividend payment of $0.256 per share and a dividend yield of 4.28%, as of October 1.
