Medical Properties Trust is not going bankrupt, with strong liquidity, a healthy asset base, and a well-covered dividend yield. MPW's fiscal 2024 Q4 revenue and FFO beat consensus estimates, trading at a low valuation with significant upside potential.

Medical Properties Trust Is Overbought, Time To Exit (Technical Analysis)
Since my last analysis, several technical trading indicators show that Medical Properties Trust, Inc. stock has become overbought. I consider MPW stock's overbought condition unsustainable and to be followed by sharp corrections, just as what has occurred multiple times in the recent past. In terms of fundamentals, the current valuation has more than priced in the improvements updated in its earnings report for FY Q4 2024.

Medical Properties Trust: Business Model Sustainability Is Highly Questionable
Medical Properties Trust raised cash by selling assets and issuing high-interest bonds, easing short-term liquidity concerns but raising long-term sustainability questions. MPW's recent refinancing increased its average debt cost significantly, leading to higher annual interest expenses and narrowing the spread between rental yield and debt cost. Despite a significant dividend cut, the Company continues to burn cash, raising debt to cover operating shortfalls, which is unsustainable and long term.
