Supermarket Income REIT plc (LSE:SUPR) has announced a third-quarter interim dividend of 1.545 pence per ordinary share for the period covering 1 January to 31 March 2026. The dividend will be paid entirely in cash and is classified as a Property Income Distribution from the company’s tax-exempt property rental activities. Payment is expected on or around 29 May 2026 to shareholders recorded on the register as of 8 May, with shares trading ex-dividend from 7 May.
The announcement highlights the company’s continued focus on delivering steady and progressive income to investors, supported by its portfolio of long-leased grocery properties across the UK and Europe. For this dividend period, the company will not offer a scrip alternative. However, the board noted that a scrip option could be introduced for future dividends, which may provide shareholders with flexibility in how they receive returns while also influencing the company’s capital management strategy.
From an investment perspective, Supermarket Income REIT benefits from stable financial performance and supportive corporate developments. Technical indicators also suggest positive price momentum, while the stock’s relatively high dividend yield contributes to an attractive valuation profile. Recent strategic acquisitions and confidence shown by management further strengthen the company’s investment appeal.
