Dividend Safety Rating

61/ 100Safe

AAT's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 68.1% ffo payout ratio & 159.1 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 113.8% fcf payout ratio & 1.9x interest coverage. The dividend has been growing at a 6.34% 5-year CAGR. As a REIT, its payout is measured against FFO (funds from operations) rather than net income, since large non-cash depreciation makes the earnings payout ratio misleading.
