Dividend Safety Rating

74/ 100Safe

GLPI's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 79.9% ffo payout ratio & 31.1x current ratio. Areas of concern: 118.8% fcf payout ratio & 78.1% cfo payout ratio. 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.
