This Dividend Stock Yields Almost 9% and Could Rally 50%, According to Wall Street
EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR), a relatively small real estate investment trust, or REIT, was outperforming the stock market during most of 2022. However, in the latter half of the year, the parent company of one of its largest tenants, Regal Entertainment, filed for bankruptcy protection, and the stock plunged by about 40% from the highs.
However, Wall Street hasn't given up on EPR even if investors are nervous. In fact, some of the most respected firms see lots of upside potential for this beaten-down, high-yield REIT. Raymond James recently named EPR a top pick among net lease REITs, and JPMorgan Chase recently put a $52 price target on the stock, implying more than 50% upside from the current price.
To be sure, there are some short-term headwinds investors should be aware of before considering EPR. So, here's a quick overview of what the company does, its long-term potential, and key risk factors.
