Dividend Safety Rating

55/ 100Caution

NXRT's dividend shows some areas that warrant monitoring. Strengths include a 49.0% cfo payout ratio & 2.9x current ratio. Areas of concern: 0.6x interest coverage & 81.8% net debt / total assets. The dividend has been growing at a 10.01% 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.
