Dividend Safety Rating
NSA's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 77.2% ffo payout ratio & 127.0 debt-to-equity. Areas of concern: 1.7x interest coverage & 67.0% net debt / total assets. The dividend has been growing at a 11.05% 5-year 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.
