If You Bought Independence Realty Stock 10 Years Ago

The company's stock traded at approximately $9.33 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 1,072 shares. Currently, shares trade at $21.23, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $22,755 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Independence Realty Trust also paid dividends during these 10 years.

Independence Realty's dividend yield is currently 3.01%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $5.58 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $5,980 from dividends alone.

Summing up $22,755 and $5,980, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $28,735. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Independence Realty stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 187.35%.

"2024 was another strong year for IRT as we achieved the high-end of our guidance, with CFFO per share of $1.16 and NOI growth of 3.2%," said CEO Scott Schaeffer. "This performance is a reflection of our continued focus on balancing occupancy and rental rate growth, underpinned by accomplishing strategic milestones. Looking ahead to 2025, we believe we are well-positioned to grow CFFO as we capitalize on rebounding market fundamentals to create value for shareholders."
