Medical Properties Trust: The Worst Is Over

  • Medical Properties Trust has stabilized after losing a major tenant, with FFO turning positive and no near-term debt maturities threatening its operations. Despite recent dividend cuts, the payout is well-covered by normalized FFO, and the trust's low payout ratio offers a margin of safety. The stock trades at a significant discount to peers on a NFFO multiple basis, presenting a compelling re-rating and upside potential if execution continues.
