Dividend Safety Rating
LTC's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 18.5x current ratio & 85.3 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 137.3% ffo payout ratio & 0.0% 5-year dividend 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.
