Dividend Safety Rating

63/ 100Safe

FRT's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 50.3% ffo payout ratio & 138.4 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 118.3% fcf payout ratio & 0.7x current ratio. As a Dividend Aristocrat with 25+ consecutive years of increases, FRT has a proven commitment to shareholders. 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.
