Rayonier sets Q2 cash dividend and distribution at $0.2725

WILDLIGHT, Fla. - Rayonier Inc. (NYSE:RYN), a timberland real estate investment trust, has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.2725 per common share, scheduled for payment on June 30, 2025, to shareholders on record as of June 16, 2025. The company boasts a significant 12% dividend yield and has maintained dividend payments for 32 consecutive years, according to InvestingPro data. In a concurrent move, the board of directors, also overseeing the general partner of Rayonier, L.P., announced an identical cash distribution for its operating partnership units, with the same record and payment dates.

Rayonier specializes in timberland assets across prime softwood timber growing regions in the United States and New Zealand.
