Dividend Safety Rating
APLE's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 61.1% ffo payout ratio & 53.7 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 83.0% fcf payout ratio & 0.3x current ratio. The dividend has been growing at a 26.19% 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.
