Medical Properties Trust (MPT) has been downgraded to a sell rating due to ongoing tenant performance problems, high debt levels, and concerns over its dividend sustainability. The company recently refinanced $2.4 billion of debt, extending maturities but increasing interest costs to 9.25%, which pressures its thin earnings and coverage ratios. Despite an attractive 10.3% dividend yield, cash-adjusted funds from operations and asset sales indicate the dividend payout is not well-supported, raising risk for investors. Portfolio quality issues remain, with key tenants underperforming and asset sales potentially threatening future earnings stability.
