Dividend Safety Rating

49/ 100Caution

DEI's dividend shows some areas that warrant monitoring. Strengths include a 30.8% ffo payout ratio & 34.2% cfo payout ratio. Areas of concern: 208.5% fcf payout ratio & 1.0x interest coverage. 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.
