EPR Properties (EPR 0.02%) is a unique real estate investment trust (REIT). There are reasons to like its highly focused approach and reasons to dislike it.
Last year was a lackluster one for the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector. The average REIT gained only about 5% last year, significantly underperforming the S&P 500 's (^GSPC -1.11%) 23% rally.
EPR Properties faces significant risks due to high exposure to theaters, a business model reliant on riskier investments, and a history of earnings and dividend cuts. Despite diversification efforts, EPR's AFFO and dividends haven't recovered to pre-COVID levels, unlike competitors like Realty Income, which boasts superior diversification and growth prospects. EPR's cost of capital is higher than Realty Income's, necessitating riskier investments, which could become problematic if operators default.
EPR Properties' Q3-2024 results showed a 5% revenue decline and 12% decline in FFO and AFFO, highlighting ongoing struggles with theater properties. Common shares have moved noticeably lower. Preferred share pricing has improved notably as well.
EPR Properties has seen its dividend yield rise to just under 8% following its recent pullback. The REIT is covering its dividend by 151% from its fiscal 2024 third-quarter FFOAA. Strong free cash flow generation and a well-laddered maturity profile raise the possibility of a near-term dividend hike.
