3 Bargain Medical REITs for Great Dividends in 2022
In today's overheated stock market, it's hard to find value or yield because stocks are so highly priced. Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI), Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW), and Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) all go against that grain. The three medical real estate investment trusts (REITs) offer high but stable yields at low valuations.
A REIT is required to pay out 90% of its net earnings through dividends to be classified as a pass-through firm by the IRS. This means REITs offer investors some of the best yields on the market. These medical REITs are particularly strong because they focus on long-term leases with quality, investment-grade clients that don't have difficulty paying their rent. All three REITs are currently bargains, with price-to-FFO (P/FFO) ratios below the average of 21.2 times for a REIT.
