Analyst Foresees Challenges For Medical Properties Trust, Expects 35% Dividend Cut
Portfolio Pulse from Lekha Gupta
RBC Capital Markets analyst Michael Carroll has lowered the price target for Medical Properties Trust Inc (MPW) from $12 to $10 and added a Speculative Risk qualifier to the Outperform rating. This follows MPW's Q2 FY23 results, which missed estimates. Carroll also expects a 35% dividend cut to $0.75 per share and a $60 million rent cut in Q1 FY24. He believes MPW can address its liquidity issues by improving collections and will need to address $1.4 billion in debt maturities in Q1 2025.
