Dividend Safety Rating
EPRT's dividend appears very safe. Strengths include a 59.6% ffo payout ratio & 2.7x current ratio. Areas of concern: 6.3% return on equity. The dividend has been growing at a 5.32% 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.
