Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE: MPW) - Medical Properties Trust, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results“We are delighted to see value creation recognized in our strong portfolio through the recent transactions in Massachusetts and Utah, as well as in Steward as a preeminent operator,” said Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “As I always say, our hospitals are a part of the infrastructure in their communities, but the real importance is in the value of our demonstrated ability to identify and underwrite the full potential of both individual hospitals and regional portfolios.”
Mr. Aldag continued, “We manage our business for long-term shareholder returns, supported by both a dividend well-covered by lease payments from our tenants and consistent growth in per share AFFO, while staying within certain long-term balance sheet parameters. Our shareholders should expect nothing different from us going forward, and we have never felt better about our range of attractive capital options and investment opportunities than we do today.”
