Dividend Safety Rating
SAFE's dividend shows some areas that warrant monitoring. Strengths include a 41.3% ffo payout ratio & 39.0x current ratio. Areas of concern: 168.1% fcf payout ratio & 143.8% 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.
