Epr stock price market momentum indicators suggest

Market momentum indicators suggest potential upward movement if consumer spending trends remain strong. However, there's an important detail to understand about the REIT's dividend. In the third quarter, the company's adjusted funds from operations (FFO) came in at $1.47 per share. (For REITs, FFO is the key benchmark metric of earnings, reflecting the cash they take in from their business activities.) The dividend EPR paid during the quarter was $0.825 per share. That means its adjusted FFO payout ratio was a modest 56%. That leaves a lot of room to cope with adversity before the dividend would be at risk. Perhaps more to the point, it leaves the company a lot of room to shrink its exposure to movie theaters. Check out this article by Benzinga for seven analysts' insights on EPR Properties. EPR stock price is being closely watched as Q2 earnings approach, with consensus targeting $0.86 FFO per share. Current price action at $43.70 reflects anticipation of stable year-over-year performance. Analysts warn of potential short-term pullbacks if interest rate volatility spikes.
