RE:RE:RE:RE:Free FallIt seems to me the underlying payout ratio prior to covid was in the 85-90% range. Plus this from the latest NR: "As of June 24, the REIT has collected 90 per cent of June rents in cash and expects more cash collections by month-end." The first part of that excerpt is of course most important, but the last part is also noteworthy.
I've mentioned before that I've no idea if there will be a (likely temporary) dividend cut. As long as they are seen to be protecting their longer term NAV, then things should work out fine.
Certainly, the current market price is telling us that a cut is already anticipated.
I've seen several dividend cuts lead to short term price rises, although who knows what will happen on any given stock. Your guess is as good as mine.

My assumption is a cut is coming..staying out for now..if theres a panic sell may jump in...
