Elme Communities' record changed sharply in the last year. A payment of $1.74 per share is declared with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of October 23, 2026. The source lists its pay date as October 22, 2026, a day before the ex-date. Before that, the most recent payment was $14.67 per share, with an ex-date of January 8, 2026 and a listed pay date of January 7.

The source's trailing twelve-month figure of $14.67 equals that single January payment. It gives a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 838.29% at a share price of $1.75, which reflects that one unusually large payment rather than a regular rate.

Until late 2025, the company paid a regular quarterly dividend. It was $0.17 per share from September 2021, rose to $0.18 with the March 2023 payment, an increase of about 5.9%, and stayed there through September 2025. That gave calendar-year totals of $0.68 in 2022 and $0.72 in both 2023 and 2024. The table starts with a $0.30 payment in June 2021. No regular quarterly payment appears after September 2025; the two since then are the large ones above. The table shows no pattern yet that points to the timing of a payment after October.
