Dividend Safety Rating
CTRE's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 74.2% ffo payout ratio & 8.4x interest coverage. Areas of concern: Volatile profit margin stability. The dividend has been growing at a 6.03% 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.
