The payout ratio for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) stock is 130.83% over the past 12 months. DLR has a payout ratio of 130.8%, based on $4.88 of dividends per share and $3.80 of EPS.

REIT note: for real-estate investment trusts the net-income payout ratio overstates the dividend, because large non-cash depreciation depresses GAAP earnings. REITs are evaluated on FFO / AFFO payout (the industry standard) and on the FCF payout — a payout above 100% here is normal for a REIT and is not, by itself, a sign the dividend is unsafe.
