NICE Quarterly Report

Nice quarter! A couple more like this and they could easily double (heck even almost triple) the distribution and it'll all be covered by the AFFO.

They have written down their properties due to covid to slightly less that $18 per share. (Current Book ...more

Another matter is the distribution.  REITS have to distribute the taxable portion of their income. Last year over $0.50 cents of the annual distribution was shown as taxable.  And that was a bad year.  Assuming their taxable income will be at least the same as last year, They will HAVE to catch up by year end.  Either some bonus dividend or increase distribution to $0.06 per ...more

You're not missing anything. We're dealing with the covid hangover of delta now. But, it too shall pass. MRT is a test of patience but the reward is quietly approaching.
