## MPT in article posted yesterday: This health care real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 13.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. Medical Properties' revenues are expected to be $252.59 million, up 12.9% from the year-ago quarter....

OHI most recent quarter had an FFO of $0.82, and it trades at $47.67 as of a minute ago. That implies a multiple of 58x per $0.01 of quarterly FFO for the share price. Applying the same to MPT at an estimated $0.15 quarterly FFO, share price should be at $8.70. Granted MPT has a higher debt to equity ratio, but REITS or more valued on FFO than anything else....

A share buyback followed by some outstanding news can cause a rush to cover. If MPT squeezed to say 12 or higher, the company can reissue shares and pay off debt. Lots of ways to capitalize on a large short attack that could not possibly cover 137m shares if the demand exceeds the supply....

Tomorrow is re\-ranking day for the Russell 2000 and so I definitely expect a full out bear raid to occur tomorrow the same way we saw a fallout bear raid on March 20th on the small cap index reranking\. Reporting earnings tomorrow morning is no accident\. A good earnings report will thwart this bear raid and prevent a reconstitution of medical properties trusts relative weight in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices\. These bear raids have successfully shaken 66 million shares out of the hands of the nine biggest index funds, And that is exactly where the shares that shorty has covered with came from\. By the end of second quarter the well for shaking shares out of index funds by creating forced passive selling will be dry\. Any short positions not covered by June 30th are very high risk positions where they have no source of shares to …...

[@jr1982](mention://user/3c8d8de7-dc09-4951-aac2-f64e7953c6da) It doesn't usually mean anything. I've watched hundreds of stocks before earnings, sometimes they run up before, just to be sold off at earnings, even with a good report (called sell the news). Sometimes they are pushed down, just to rocket up big time at earnings. We are only now just starting to finally get good quarters after all the work that's been done, so I think any thing positive will be a great surprise to most who don't follow this company much. Once those positive articles start showing up, it's off to the races....

My friends things are looking extremely dire. Interest rates in all likelihood will be increasing due to geopolitics and inflation. 2 billion dollars will come due or have to be refinaced at much higher rates in 2027. Rumors are swirling that new tenants are under severe finacial stress. Tommorow will be a bloodbath. Many are predicting the MPT could drop to the low 4 dollar range, and may test 3 dollars before the end of the year. The share buyback is also going to be put on hold and the dividend may need to be cut. My friends things are looking extremely bleak with all the negative sentiments. this could be the perfect storm....

Let's see how Q1 compares to Q4\. Here are some Q4 highlights: Q4 Net income was $0\.03 \(beat 1 cent estimate\) and Q4 NFFO of $0\.18 beat 15 cents estimate\. Revenue was $270\.3m vs estimate of $245\.22 m\. Repurchased 4\.5 million shares for $23\.4 million under the previously announced common stock repurchase program\. Avg price $5\.20\. The new tenants in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana are fully current on cash rents\. Excluding $4 million of September rent received on October 1, 2025 from a cash\-basis tenant, cash collections from these new tenants increased as expected to $22 million in the fourth quarter compared to $16 million in the third quarter\. Two hospitals in Connecticut were sold in January 2026, leaving only one MPT\-owned facility that is under binding agreement and is expected to sell in the first quarter of 2026\....

What is now clear: 1) Management explicitly confirmed that HSA is current and has already ramped up to 75% of their fully stabilized rent. This effectively removes the "Second Steward" risk that the shorts were using to suppress the price. 2) The California hospitals, who start paying rent in Q2, will help bring the NFFO to about .20 by the end of Q4 2026. At current levels, that means a share price of between $7-8. 3) There is a high probability that the dividend will increase to the .12 to .15 cent range in the first half of 2027....

**When net leverage falls below \~6.5x and liquidity exceeds \~$700M, the stock becomes “un‑shortable” in size.** Why? Because: - Borrow becomes expensive - Risk/reward flips - Index funds stop selling - Passive inflows resume - Fundamental buyers return - Shorts can’t find enough real liquidity to press the trade This is the same dynamic that broke the back of short sellers in: - OHI (2018) - SBRA (2019) - MPW itself in 2013–2014 For the reasons listed above, this is why I think, based in part on the topical emphasis in the conference call, that management is going to go full conservative and any new cash inflows from Infracore, ramp up rent, and asset sales is going directly toward deleveraging. 6.5x EBDITA is about 6.6 billion today, but make 2027 a full year of ramped up rents and add in lease escalators we are looking at 2027 being about 6.9 …...

Invisible Ed watching the price decline from that brand new fancy office building.? Does MPT still hold those corporate jets? I'm sure they are critical to the successful implementation of their strategy. Pumpers told me that AI was a bubble and this was going to squeeze...

Very disappointed in how this has played out. I'm sure the company will be fine and the ER was good. Seems it fell short of a lot of expectations, and the manipulation has become ridiculous. Once this overreaction settles down a bit I'll be exiting this position in my brokerage but keeping the other half in my IRA for now (which makes more sense anyway). I do see a divi bump in the near future, but going to pivot to something more growth oriented for my brokerage account....

[@wade7213](mention://user/97c4f258-aff5-4720-9eb0-32be03341283) March 20 was the exact same thing. Considering that "real" movement is under 1.5 million daily, the 8 million that they force Russel 2000, and Russel 3000 funds to sell from late May through June 22 will hold down the share price. I wish management would move the Dividend date to "triple witching Friday", the third Friday of the third month of each quarter. I would stop auto reinvesting and wait for the predictable short manipulation....

Wow people, I’m b very happy to buy here, it’s obvious we’re doing well and not going bankrupt. We’re making 7% or so, paying off debt, wow. The shorts just have no where to go and are trying to scare up shares. Traders will give up a small number. Most people will buy. I’d be happier at 10 today, but this isn’t bad...

Down almost 5%. The market and Ky Mike think it’s time Ed played golf every day. And take his team with him. We have lost faith in his abilities to turn this thing around. Down almost 5% today. Down compared to a few months past. Down from last year. Has fallen off a cliff the past four and one half years. By every metric known to man - the executive team and Board has failed us. The Board should be criminally libel. They are paid to reward success and serve shareholders. They have failed us miserably. Wonder how much it would cost me to start a suit against their performance? Enough. Ain’t shorts. Four and a half years is too long to coddle Ed....

I have been absent from the board for a while. Pretty much can't stand the new comments format and censorship. I'm still holding on here long, its been a bit annoying not seeing this higher.

Just state the obvious. There is a heavy pocketed short seller manipulating the stock price with millions of dollars to keep it in a range so as to minimize his short losses while he slowly works to close out his short positions. This can’t and won’t last forever....

I have been holding my nose for every earning report for almost 3 years. During this time I have increased my holding by doing nothing except collecting dividends and buying a few shares along the way. I now have enough shares to be even in real money even though it shows an $80,000 loss. I'm holding for sure the next nine months because I believe that that lost number will be 0, like in zero. The only thing that upsets me is the fact that the big boys ( those we never hear from and own many thousands of shares knew last week what was in this earning report) when thay start selling, I'm selling....

As long as the share price stays down, I get more shares for every DRIP. When the share price rises, that means the stock is getting closer to becoming a stable, boring REIT. Best case scenario for me is a depressed share price as the company deleverages and grows its asset base, then by 5 years the share price approaches book value and the REIT can throw off a comfortable 5-6% dividend indefinitely, which for me will be more like 15-20% given my cost basis....

How do you figure that was a disappointment? Obviously a short or should sell. It’s like I stated before earning, no matter what came out the shorts would say it’s horrific. I played it that way and won, but they know they’re stuck and they cannot get up. Haha they keep trying though. Ether that or they get crushed to cover, no place to hide...

No excuse for the drop in share price, good quarter. Read the transcript of the C/C. Negatives or possible problems with tenants or collections seemed minor. Growth in rental income seems to be on track for $1 billion plus. Sometimes an income stock does poorly on a day when the markets are way up. A little boring for speculative money. I think we are back in the $5s by Monday...

The way I see it, if MPT misses Zacks estimate by a lousy penny means that Zach's has erred in their estimating\. THEY got it wrong, that is no reflection on the great job the company is doing to stabilize operators and rents\. I don't give a darn about what anyone projects, I can see the progress for myself\. 14 cents vs 15 cents is INSIGNIFICANT\. The writing is on the wall, read it\. Shorts have to buy the shares loaned to them\. I'm getting paid 7 percent to wait, and believe me, I will wait\!...

[@u_p5zykguca3f7](mention://user/4d5bdcb2-70bd-4f63-ad89-ef65fab10fe6)It actually was expected. Russel 2000 weighting starting June 22 is based on today's weighting. It was the exact same thing on March 20 where SP small; cap 600 weighting as a percentage of market cap was set, and shorty went all in that day also. At one point today I dug up all the small change in my and my wife's accounts and put in buy orders at 4.88 and picked up a few hundred shares. Its only once we start this that shorty stops. 100% a conspiracy to manipulate share prices. They have shaken out probably 7 to 8 million shares out of the passive selling hands of index funds to cover the 140 million share short interest, shares that will be sold during rebalancing between May 15 and June 22. This has been going on since at a minimum December 2024. From Q3 2024 to most recent …...
