Dividend Safety Rating

71/ 100Safe

UE's dividend appears safe and well-supported. Strengths include a 43.2% ffo payout ratio & 51.8% fcf payout ratio. Areas of concern: 2.4x interest coverage & Volatile profit margin stability. 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.
