RE:Not the best day for this. Not sure if you even stock bro.... I mean it's like you fundamentally don't understand the company.
Let's disect your points one by one
Equity decreased but it was almost completely attributable to 15,472 writedown on intangible assets, companies take Goodwill Impairment charges to reduce net income and in turn taxes.
Yes there is a minority ownership in the company....the physicians own part of the facillities thats the entire buisness model....
Now as for the dividend, the payout ratio has been gradually decreasing over the last number of years (down 13.1% from the previous year) to most recently 70.7.
This stocks pays out most of it's avalible cash...why in the devils name would you expect substantial growth? The dividend will grow over time but at a tepid pace -comparably to any other high pay out reit.
This company has an 12.8 FCF Yield and nearly 9% yield!!! I am long and buying.
