Dividend Safety Rating

59/ 100Caution

BXP's dividend shows some areas that warrant monitoring. Strengths include a 38.4% ffo payout ratio & 49.9% fcf payout ratio. Areas of concern: 1.6x interest coverage & 60.7% net debt / total assets. 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.
