Dividend Safety Rating

74/ 100Safe

EPR's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 65.3% ffo payout ratio & 1.7x current ratio. Areas of concern: Volatile profit margin stability. The dividend has been growing at a 18.37% 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.
