Dividend Safety Rating

32/ 100Warning

JBGS's dividend shows several warning signs. Strengths include a 157.7 debt-to-equity & 48.9% gross margin. Areas of concern: 83.6% fcf payout ratio & 97.9% 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.
