"We are encouraged by the performance trends captured in the fourth quarter and the early signs of improvement in pricing trends as the record level of new supply deliveries has now peaked. Calendar year 2025 will be a transition year for revenue performance as the decline in new supply deliveries will provide for increasingly tighter market conditions and resulting rent growth. As we reprice leases over the busy spring and summer leasing season, the compounding impact in overall revenue performance will become increasingly evident late this year and into 2026," said CEO Eric Bolton.

How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Mid-America Apartment Communities Investor?

If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Mid-America Apartment Communities dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $33,058, which is around 199 shares at $166.36 each. 

Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.63% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0363 = $33,058 to generate an income of $100 per month.

You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.

The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).

In summary, income-focused investors may find Mid-America Apartment Communities stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 199 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Mid-America Apartment Communities has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 15 years.
