How do you feel about MPT?

$MPT This is why I think MPT shareholders are sitting on a goldmine and MPT is significantly undervalued: - P/B ratio = 0,3 - Book value $ 7.54 vs. $ 2.71 share price - Even in bankruptcy: if all hospitals are sold, EQ holders should get a share after repaying outstanding debt - Capital allocation strategy ongoing: few hospitals are being sold ABOVE book value, creating shareh. value - Until now, there was NO NEED for a fire sale of a LARGE hospital portfolio, they just decided to sell A FEW properties. This option to sell a LARGE portfolio of their assets remains a key value driver for them and for us shareh.´s. - Dividend can be cut to save cash, this is a huge option not fully used - They can re-buy own debt (at discounts) or own shares to create shareh. value Check my ST history on comments regarding other stocks which have significantly out-performed. This is why I have SIGNIFICANTLY increased my long-position in MPT. Good luck to all MPT long-term shareholders!

$MPT I must admit that this stock has tested my patience and sanity. I thought I was brilliant, with an average cost per share under $5. Could have sold at $6.40 several months back. Never expected it to trade at half that recent high. I feel the stock is à screaming value, but am no longer confident in my judgement. Still clinging to the idea that I am being paid to wait for a turnaround.🤞😡

$MPT what is the problem, dividends are safe with 11c ffo 9c easily safe. And 1b+ revenue till the end of the year.

$MPT this is a FIRE SALE for a company that is trading below book value with a good dividend and balance sheet cleanup actively happening.

$MPT Shorts must be smoking some really good stuff. Book value is still $7.50, MPT made a profit, one small hospital had trouble paying one month’s rent because of billing issues but barely makes a dent in MPT’s revenue. Still making revenue over $1B per year which is currently 1/3 of the value of their stock. Dividend is still covered by their financials. Manipulation at its finest

$MPT they are going to have to complete a R/S sometime soon in order to remain listed in the index. They are going cancel the dividend soon in order to slow the eventual slide to zero.

$MPT Purchase price of properties $12,437. Since 2022 on average they get 21% premium to purchase price on all the sales they have completed. Use that premium to current assets, add the 600m cash and pay the debt. You have $9-10 / share value. The company is worth more under liquidation vs under operational status.

$MPT You guys seem to forget this a real estate company that has real assets that are all worth more than they paid for them. 🤦‍♂️ If they have to pay down debt they can sell properties and buy more later when rates come down. And even though they’re selling properties their revenue and profit continues to increase because they are still ramping up rents on several new tenants. So how is a company with growing revenue and profit going bankrupt again??

$MPT was buying this a couple years ago around $3, rode it up to $5 and sold. Plan to do the same thing again, all while I collect a fat dividend along the way. 😎

$MPT It is a restriction rather than a total ban, governed by standard high-yield debt covenant exceptions. Under the indenture for the $2.4 billion senior secured notes, Medical Properties Trust (MPT) operates under "Restricted Payments" covenants. This structure functions through specific mechanics: • The Basket System: MPT is restricted from making equity distributions (including share buybacks and discretionary dividends) unless they have enough room in a pre-calculated "basket" built from cumulative net income and asset sale proceeds. So if the cash proceeds are sufficient they can still buyback shares!! Let’s see what they say on the call!

$MPT steady as she goes. I see no need for concern. Continue collecting dividend while debt reduces. Excelsior!

$MPT Maybe we dreop below 2.5? This big decline in price is worrying. It's almost like there's been a leak before the ER. I bought a bit more, not many hardcore bulls here nowadays. I may become one if it keeps dropping. Watch the ER below from Aug (management seemee positive)

$MPT adding. This is way overdone … maybe it’s the last push from shorts before they start covering ..33% of float shorted 😂

$MPT Broken model? 1 billion revenue from rent per year is not enough to pay down the debt after 2027-2028. Nothing for shareholders left. It's not like they will sell properties for a special dividend. Shareholders are last here

$MPT Wow, I used to own over 10,000 shares in this company. Luckily I sold everything at $6, but last time I started buying around these levels and even picked up some below $3. Unfortunately, I have no spare cash, and I’m not sure how realistic a repeat run would be, but it’s probably possible. Good luck to all longs!

$MPT sold 600m of properties out of $12 billion!! Let’s keep things in perspective!! And rest of the debt is about to be refinanced with better covenants!

$MPT ok, maybe it could drop (actually ANY SHARE could drop when anybody with 1bil usd in pocket want to press down and spend huge money trying). would be a problem if YOU REALLY doing DD on youor position? for me - no. when i see my DD is ok, but someone opposite move is pushicg different direction - this is not a problem, but possibility. of course - ALWAYS DO IT YOUR OWN. and check YOUR OWN RISK MANAGEMENT. as example, margin trading without proper risk management and positions size control is sometime shorters best target to crash someones portfolio. anybody must understand, shorters are using best instruments possible. mass media, soc media, stop-loss burning, margin burning, AI trading robots, HFT trading robots... is somenone is playing with leverage - it is always shorters target. remember this. IMO - MPT as company is strong. they have diversified in whole world portfolio. crazy low book value. but also volatile and sentimental trading.

$MPT the post below about Medicare Advantage Plans is not accurate. You pay co-pays for doctors and prescriptions from day one. If you have a lot of health issues, you may reach your yearly maximum out-of-pocket limit ($6K-$10K). After that, you don’t have anymore expenses. À $10K deductible would mean you pay full price for all services until you hit $10K, then benefits would begin. Bears have some legitimate issues with hospitals & MPT. But, you don’t need to engage in fear mongering…

$MPT If your a buyer of MPT then your a buyer of deep value. After MPT did the debt extension last qtr, their free cash flow is likely now zero and FFO now cut in half. So next quarter you will see either a div cut or they will convert the dividend to paid in kind. They can’t raise the dividend. They are also most likely raising money via the 500million open share plan they noted in the last qtr report. I.e. dilution. They will use this 500mil to pay off the equity line due this year. They will also sell more hospitals to cover next year refinancing. This is a turn around story. If it works you’ll be rewarded but it’s years not months.

$MPT this is a long term investor’s perfect opportunity to buy, hold, and get rich in a retirement account.
