SVC
MPW eps doesn't meet it's distribution either by the way. Almost 0 REIT's with properties does.
But here is the problem with your line of thinking these reit take enormous and I do mean enormous depreciation every quarter, you do realize over time that mean properties will have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less value on the books and will be worth much more in reality in real life if you hold that property over years, we both know that property value generally goes up if you hold it for 10 years not down. So to me I think your line of thinking in this case with depreciation is flawed in my opinion because of that.
SVC has not been flat for many year, each year they increased the divy for over the last 5 years. So I don't agree with that line of thing either. I strongly disagree with your take not just on SVC but REITS in general, because the depreciation is not on a piece of equipment, here it is a building with land, which when you go to sell it will be valued generally more 20 years from now than it is today. Hence the properties they hold over time are value will probably be understated in a lot of cases, unless the building loses tenants of course, that is what will really lose it some value in a hurry. So if your case is that the divy reduces the nav, I argue fake/at least over exaggerated depreciation in terms of this sector over time will make the NAV lower than they are.
Why do you think REITS give out FFO info?
You know when we buy a house should we take depreciation on it, so in theory that house would be worth less 20 years from now than it is today. We know that isn't generally true. There is a serious flaw with this logic in my opinion from a NAV perspective what is going on a book basis is not what is happening in reality the value of that properties don't keep dropping by 100 million every quarter they really don't in my opinion. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
