Dividend Safety Rating

65/ 100Safe

NNN's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 70.7% ffo payout ratio & 110.4 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 2.9x interest coverage & 51.3% net debt / total assets. 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.
