Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA) has increased its dividend for 15 consecutive years and hasn’t cut or suspended payouts since its 1994 IPO. It’s currently yielding 4.34%. With $1B in apartment projects under construction and continued strong rental demand, MAA looks positioned for steady growth. The next ex-dividend date is Oct 15, so if a dividend capture strategy is your thing, it's one of the candidates right now. Some argue AI stocks might offer better short-term upside, but MAA’s track record is hard to ignore.
