quarterly dividendfinancial
"its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share."
A quarterly dividend is a payment a company gives to its shareholders four times a year, usually as a share of its profits. It's like getting a small bonus every few months for owning the company's stock, which can provide a steady income. Investors watch these payments to see how well a company is doing and whether it’s a good investment.
return of capitalfinancial
"all of the dividends paid in 2025 will be treated as a return of capital."
Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.
real estate investment trustfinancial
"BRT is a real estate investment trust that owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, holds interests in joint ventures"
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns and manages income-producing properties—like apartment buildings, shopping centers, offices, or warehouses—and is required to pass most of its rental income to shareholders as dividends. Think of it as a shared property owner: instead of buying a whole building, investors buy a slice of a portfolio that pays regular income and can offer exposure to property values and rental markets without direct management. REITs matter to investors for predictable income, diversification, and liquidity compared with owning physical real estate.
joint venturesfinancial
"holds interests in joint ventures that own multi-family properties."
A joint venture is a business arrangement where two or more companies come together to work on a specific project or goal, sharing both the risks and the rewards. It’s like partners teaming up for a common goal, which can help them access new markets, share expertise, or reduce costs. For investors, joint ventures can create new opportunities but also involve shared responsibilities and potential risks.
multi-family propertiesfinancial
"joint ventures that own multi-family properties."
Residential buildings designed to house multiple separate households under one roof or within a single complex, such as apartment buildings, duplexes, or townhome clusters. Investors care because these properties generate recurring rental income, spread risk across many tenants like a basket spreads risk across fruits, and often offer cost advantages in management and maintenance compared with owning many single-family homes, affecting cash flow and long-term value.
preferred equity investmentsfinancial
"has preferred equity investments in two multi-family properties."
Preferred equity investments are a type of company ownership that sits between debt and ordinary shares: holders get regular, typically fixed payments and have priority over common shareholders for those payments and claim on assets, but they usually give up much of the upside if the company grows. Think of it as a hybrid between a bond and a stock — it offers steadier income and higher claim in trouble, which matters to investors balancing income stability against growth potential.
