"It owns ski resorts, movie theaters, water parks, eat-and-play businesses, and other types of properties. It had a tough time during the pandemic since its tenants were shutting down and the management had to suspend the dividends. However, the company bounced back, and the dividend too came back in 2021. It suffered during the pandemic because it had very high exposure to theaters and it is now trying to reduce the exposure to this property type."
"It made a capital investment of $48.6 million in the second quarter and has committed $109 million for property development and redevelopment projects. It has a yield of 6.51%, and the funds from operations payout ratio is close to 70%. Exchanging hands for $54, EPR stock is up 23% in 2025 and over 100% in the last five years. The company is set to report third-quarter results on October 30."
Monthly dividend stocks can provide steady supplementary income, and 2025 market volatility has pushed yields higher on several names. High yields do not always indicate higher risk when companies have a long record of regular dividends and the capacity to sustain them. EPR Properties operates a net lease model owning experiential assets like ski resorts, movie theaters, water parks, and eat-and-play businesses. EPR suspended dividends during the pandemic but reinstated them in 2021 and is reducing theater exposure. The company invested $48.6 million in Q2 and committed $109 million for development, yields 6.51%, with an FFO payout near 70%.
