Stifel Nicolaus Reiterates Hold on Medical Properties Trust


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


Stifel Nicolaus maintains its Hold rating on Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) as it introduces 2013 estimates showing 10.0% FFO, 5.6% FAD per share growth. Stifel Nicolaus says, "We are introducing 2013 FFO and FAD per share estimates of $0.99 and $0.94 respectively, indicating 10.0% FFO per share and 5.6% FAD per share growth. NOI growth is being driven byacquisition assumptions (see below) as we expect FFO growth from existing properties to be minimal in 2013 due to straight-lining of rents. Beginning in2011, a number of MPW's leases have included operating income participation provisions that could further boost earnings growth, but we have notincorporated any of this in our earnings estimates given limited track record with these leases and considerable uncertainty about healthcare reimbursement."MPW closed at $9.93 per share on Thursday.
