No time to research people who make me no money. But I wish you good fortune.

It's a bit funny that you tell me I need to look further into this company (you have no idea how much time I put into research), and yet you take a cursory look at a couple of my posts and decide you can put me in a box?
Go back and do your research on me, then you can discuss my pros and cons.

Like many modern day investors, having a short term look is not investing. That’s what advisors do, recommend a stock AFTER initial visible information comes out and a stock has moved 25% to 50%, then they recommend and start selling. Looking into large investors of mpw, they were there months ago and I assume, researched similar “stuff”. The balance of “investors use mutual funds and plod pleasantly along. I also like to understand personalities as they are genetic and seldom change. Gltl

Also know that the other penny stock I spoke about will soon (6 months prox) double or triple. I will again post to reinforce homework. All while watching indexes tread water w quality companies. Any index funds can do that, true risk takes homework. Looking back on old text, I did not see that you thought I was early, just wrong.

If I only invested by the visible easily accessible information, I would have the same perspective that you possess. Dig deeper before information becomes visible, that’s the way to change the odds in ones favor. Gltl

It has now broken through, good job.
I wasn't criticizing, I said you were too early. NOW you can gloat.
BTW, the earnings projections show very little growth and I know this company has been liquidating its assets to pay the dividend, which btw, keeps getting cut.
You may be right and I may be wrong, but I wouldn't touch this stock again.....

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

Completed Approximately $5.5 Billion of Asset Monetization Transactions, Including February’s $2.5 Billion Senior Secured Notes Offering That Addresses All Debt Maturities Through 2026

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPT”) (NYSE: MPW) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2024, as well as certain events occurring subsequent to quarter end.


• Net loss of ($0.69) and Normalized Funds from Operations (“NFFO”) of $0.18 for the 2024 fourth quarter and net loss of ($4.02) and NFFO of $0.80 for the full-year 2024, all on a per share basis. Fourth quarter 2024 net loss includes approximately $415 million ($0.69 per share) in impairments and fair market value adjustments related to Prospect Medical Group (“Prospect”) and PHP Holdings (“PHP”);



• Completed a well-oversubscribed private offering of more than $2.5 billion of senior secured notes due in 2032 at a blended coupon rate of 7.885%, the proceeds from which will repay all debt maturities until October 2026 and result in expected combined cash and line of credit availability of $1.4 billion;



• Simultaneous to the senior secured notes offering, the Company amended its line of credit to share collateral with the new senior secured notes and received universal affirmation of the long-standing banking group’s approximate $1.5 billion commitment with a fully extended (at MPT’s option) maturity in June 2027;



• Commenced rent during the fourth quarter on a $50 million building improvement project in Idaho Falls, Idaho;



• Sold two post-acute properties and agreed to sell an additional general acute facility during January for combined proceeds of approximately $45 million; and



• Declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share in February.


Edward K. Aldag, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered on exactly what we said we would do in 2024 by using proceeds from transactions to accelerate repayment of debt maturities. Our global real estate portfolio remains attractive to sophisticated investors, as evidenced by our recent five-and-a-half times oversubscribed secured notes transaction. We improved the operator diversification of our portfolio and effectively addressed all debt maturities through 2026, positioning MPT to pursue a range of shareholder value initiatives in 2025.”

Included in the financial tables accompanying this press release is information about the Company’s assets and liabilities, operating results, and reconciliations of net (loss) income to NFFO, including per share amounts, all on a basis comparable to 2023 results.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Medical Properties Trust has total assets of approximately $14.3 billion, including $8.6 billion of general acute facilities, $2.4 billion of behavioral health facilities and $1.6 billion of post-acute facilities. As of December 31, 2024, MPT’s portfolio included 396 properties and approximately 39,000 licensed beds leased to or mortgaged by 53 hospital operating companies across the United States as well as in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Finland, Colombia, Italy and Portugal.

Hospitals around Europe are benefiting from strong reimbursement trends, growing occupancy, and higher acuity levels. In the United Kingdom, private medical insurance utilization has reached an all-time high – enabling operators such as Circle Health to deliver strong financial performance driven by volume growth as increasingly complex cases are being addressed in the private sector.

In the United States, hospital fundamentals continue to broadly improve across the general acute segment as increasing admissions and growing surgical volumes are driving improved coverage. In the behavioral and post-acute segments, operators are reporting consistent growth in inpatient admissions as well as improvements in contract labor costs.

Following the first full quarter of operations since transitioning 15 hospitals to new operators in September, MPT is encouraged by performance trends being reported across this portfolio as well as by a fifth tenant who leased two additional facilities in November. Across this footprint, our tenants have reported improving volumes, increasing patient satisfaction, and stabilization of staffing and supplies.

In January, Prospect Medical Group commenced an in-court restructuring process under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In February, MPT entered into a Term Sheet providing for a settlement that will enable Prospect to sell its hospitals and the related real estate with MPT’s cooperation. This settlement is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

OPERATING RESULTS

Net loss for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 was ($413 million) (($0.69) per share) and ($2.4 billion) (($4.02) per share), respectively, compared to net loss of ($664 million) (($1.11) per share) and net loss of ($556 million) (($0.93) per share) in the year earlier periods. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 included, among other non-recurring items, approximately $415 million of impairments and fair market value adjustments related to Prospect and PHP.

NFFO for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024 was $108 million ($0.18 per share) and $483 million ($0.80 per share), respectively, compared to $218 million ($0.36 per share) and $951 million ($1.59 per share) in the year earlier periods.

I’m not gloating, I only do homework and take positions accordingly. How people criticize others, wo doing any work is just the world we live in today. Gltl I expect a nice long uptrend and bigger divis or a short squeeze in the next 60 days. either way a great trade

Well hello. Today fkd' everyone up..eh? :) Happy kid here...

I'm not sure how you could be.....but resistance currently at $4.88 and it has broken through. I'd wait until the end of week before gloating.

I’m guessing I was early, however I’m also guessing I was correct

I’m guessing I was early, however I’m also guessing I was correct

Yaa and the stock was struggling and diluting for 7-9 years and thought it was dead money. Always respected the ceo who owns about 25-30% of the stock and more held by insiders. A lot changed in the last 2 years. I caught up a year or so. Gee let’s see if there’s an opinion on my other stock. Again, it’s y I got here. Not any followers so I will just check in from time to time, but l look at other avenues as well. I wish you the best. I’m out

I saw what was worthless and not spending time on, starting to move up in price. I followed on yahoo, but saw they had less info than hub. I stated listing to quarterly cc to better get a sense of the path they were on. Zacks today, Zack’s is following a penny stock. This is their second or 3rd piece on them. I could care less if you or anyone else buys it. However, that’s how I got to mpw. I was looking at, I hoped good learned opinions.

There was the infamous woman who showed up with her husband at the CMKX "victory" party. She got drunk and chewed out Urban Cassavant on stage.

I vividly remember a guy on Raging Bull some 20 years ago whose wife got hold of his account when he wasn't around and started blabbing EVERYTHING. Hubby had lost all their money in penny stocks. The wife was no idiot and was actually quite articulate She understood the stock was a scam. No suicide but the couple, was divorcing.

There have been some suicides. Plenty of BKs and divorces galore especially during the Dot Com collapse days.

And yet in 13 years you made not one post to talk about your great investment (which looks like it had a pump and dump in Jan 2014). Is this like a cicadae that rises every 10 years from the ground?
Why had you never posted before? Why now?

His wife and family left him, and he kept saying he was contemplating suicide because he had nothing.

Again, way past well off can mean anything....in IHUB terms it might mean you can pay for lunch AND dinner.
Since we're throwing out vagueness as a reference point, I once owned a piece of a major league baseball team....can you afford to pay for Juan Soto.

Please note, you will see that I’ve posted on ELTP first, before mpw. I forget I was even on the board so I had to get a new pw. So, I’m not anything but an investor w 2 non investment grade companies getting info and questioning my decisions. I still believe in both. It may take a year or more but, I will due (no do) well.

I started on this site 13 years ago or so, because of a penny stock I owned symbol ELTP it went from Pennies to .80-.90 cents. I truly believe and believed in the CEO. The company was a one trick pony of an abuse resistant opioid. I sold 70-80%, and held on to the rest as it was worthless. They diluted to the max and got into andas. I started buying a year or so ago as sales, profits and pipeline grew. I currently have over a million shares and my avg cost is about .17. Top line growth is double digits as its pipeline is adding to sales. It is my only penny stk. the only other non investment grade stk, is Mpw that’s why I’m here

"begged for death," What does that mean?

"begged for death," What does that mean?

Too late I’m already there, just a comment on research and blinders. 13 years ago, I was in Eltp and made a small amount of money but held a significant position. Added significantly more in the last 12 months as I’ve watched and leaned. Sorry but I’m way past well off, so it’s only a comment on investing

Oh, I'm arrogant! But then IHUB sets a very low bar.
I often wonder when people here say they have significant money, what that means? I mean because I have significant monies, but due to inflation, I wonder what percentage truly do? The country went through The Great Resignation a few years ago and I think a high percentage will regret it.
But, anytime I read someone on here talking about their penny stocks as if its going to make them rich, I tend to write these people off.
So, unless you've recently changed your name, you took the moniker of a penny stock some 13 years ago almost to the day, but the stock did nothing so you never posted? Now you're making claims you're gonna be rich due to it and MPW, which I already know has financial troubles.
There's quite a bit you've posted that doesn't make sense, and I'm a researcher of personalities.

Currently I have over 98% of my investment cash in many funds and blue chip stocks of diversified markets. I do have significant monies, my 2%, in 2 high beta stocks. Mpw and ELTP. Both I expect to have significantly better returns, than my stock/bond 18 plus % yrs returned. I’m over fifty and live off of my retinas 70% to spare after tax. So preaching skills that you most likely don’t posess, is arrogant. I’m not talking about you, just some comment s I’ve read

When I first started trading and posting on RagingBull....a guy who started showing me penny stocks begged for death, then soon disappeared.

You can (and probably have) checked my posts almost back to my first day. I'm damn honest and consistent. Hate the penny scum, shills, the frauds and the TA hokum.

I try to Save Souls and bank accounts for good investing. But it's almost impressible to turn an atrocious investor into decent one. Gambling addiction, you know. At least I haven't heard of any local penny stock-driven suicides lately. And those do happen from time to time. .

Well, to be fair, this IS an investment website....or at least that was Matt's intention. Not a lot to discuss when just buying index funds. The problem is, this place allows scammers if they just pay their annual subscription and calling them out is verboten.
However, it makes no sense when you see an unused alias for a decade suddenly have much to discuss. Especially when they come on as a stock expert. It could be a penny stock CEO. It could be one of their many aliases.
Not everyone here is as honest as you and I.

That's called an "aged" alias, acquired and stored until needed. Just about everyone on IHUB is either a gambling addict or a shill. I'm a rare exception. My money is in blue chips and index funds and no one listens to people like me who actually make money in stocks. Far too boing for the locals.

Well, as you may recall, we do not agree on the value of TA. As Tommy Dorsey says, using one without the other is like playing a piano with one hand.
Personally, I think its possibly more useful with a thinly traded stock because its easier to spot insider buying and selling or a build up of a pump and dump.
The problem with fundamental analysis is often times, they're guessing at the numbers and real numbers get lost because a company didn't reach its "whisper number". The analysts are just guessing and it takes them being wrong to move a stock quickly.

Explain something for me....you joined IHUB in 2011, but waited 13 years to start posting about a penny pharma company and this one? Why would you do this? Do you have other aliases?

By all means do. I am more than willing to admit if I make a mistake on a stock. In fact, I did make a mistake on this one. I had over 3000 shares with an avg price around $19. I sure wish I had shorted it!! But I don't short stocks, even when I know its the right play. I don't like owing interest on borrowing I guess. I dumped it all around $10.25 after doing a bit more research into the company. I'm not sure you know the picture.
I'm sure you'll mark my post so you can come back when it's under $3 to tell me I was right. Or maybe the next time they cut the dividend in half.

Smart post, FD Good to see you're ignoring the chart. TA is almost totally discredited nowadays and it can be easily rigged in the case of thinly traded or fraudulent stocks.

I have marked your post, this is the easiest money I’ve ever made at these prices and shorts over extended. My opinion is either ur short or do not know the picture. Either way, I win in 1 year or less a double at a minimum. Thanks for the imput

What would the old timers say?? Oh yeah. Balderdash!!
There is nothing with this company happening here that would indicate a buy. The dividend has been cut by about 75% (which is mainly a return of principal), the earnings future looks bleak for the foreseeable future, and the interest through volume indicates this stock is far from ready for a rebound.
How this company is NOT profitable is beyond my comprehension considering the industry they are in.
This stock barely ranks a hold rating at the moment.

Mpw is now on the move. It has based out in the low to mid 4’s and 1 billion dollars worth of shorts are on the hook for the current and increasing dividends viceroy and shorts did not expect. Great value here, good dividend and increasing dividends in 6-9 months. This stock is the stock of dreams if you want a short squeeze. JMHO. Gltl I’ll just sit back and collect my dividends in the mean time

So good that Wall Street responded with a resounding "meh". Over the years I've found that stocks are shorted heavily with good reason. MPW has been selling off properties to maintain their "dividend", which is really seemingly just a return of principal.
I used to owned this stock, thinking it was a logical investment. However, there has been something drastically wrong going on here. I sold in Oct. '22 fortunately.

OK, so just went over to this Viceroy Research website. Don't know who is right, but they are pulling no punches! Based on the articles put out, true or false, this stock I don't see rebounding for a long while. Below is one of many arrows shot.

Also just noticed I lost 50% or so in this trust, about $23k.....minus a couple years of "dividends" I also note their "dividend" has gone from .29 to .08.

Independent Members of MPT’s Board of Directors Stand Firmly Behind Management

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., October 14, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The independent members of the Board of Directors of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the "Company" or "MPT") (NYSE: MPW) today released a letter to shareholders regarding the findings of an independent, forensic investigation into short-seller allegations, including with respect to transactions between the Company and Steward Healthcare ("Steward"). The Board’s Audit Committee engaged Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz ("Wachtell Lipton") to conduct this investigation, which was completed in February 2023.

The full text of the letter is included below.

Dear fellow shareholder,

Over much of the past two years, Medical Properties Trust has been the target of considerable scrutiny from short-selling hedge funds as well as certain media outlets. As fiduciaries for our shareholders, the Board treats these matters with the utmost seriousness.

In response to certain claims asserted by Viceroy Research, the Board’s Audit Committee engaged Wachtell Lipton in early 2023 to conduct an independent investigation into the short-seller allegations, including with respect to MPT transactions involving Steward Healthcare beginning in 2016. Wachtell Lipton in turn retained a leading global consulting firm to assist with financial forensics as part of this investigation. No limitations or restrictions were placed on the scope of the investigation and management cooperation with the investigation was exemplary.

As has been previously reported, in March 2023 MPT filed suit against Viceroy for defamation, civil conspiracy, and tortious interference (among other claims). Due to the active and sensitive nature of this litigation, our Board kept the investigation findings confidential at that time. However, as the OCCRP and Boston Globe resurfaced many of those same allegations in their respective stories published on October 9, 2024, we believe it is now critically important for all investors to have access to this information.

The key findings from the investigation are as follows:

The investigation identified no evidence that MPT gratuitously overpays its operator-tenants for real estate.

The investigation identified no evidence of improper round-tripping.

The investigation found no evidence of improper recognition of "uncollectable" rent through GAAP-mandated straight-line revenue recognition. The investigation also found no evidence to substantiate the allegation that MPT was required to consolidate Steward’s financial results.

The investigation concluded that neither Manolete Health nor MPT has an ownership interest in any Malta property or hospital.

The investigation yielded no evidence that management manipulated acquisitions or other metrics to meet compensation targets.

The investigation yielded no evidence of concerns regarding management integrity.

Our Board continues to stand firmly behind our management team.

During Steward’s lengthy bankruptcy process, MPT’s team worked tirelessly to avoid hospital closures, protect jobs, and ensure continuity of care for patients. Our recently announced global settlement agreement with Steward and its creditors, which was approved by the bankruptcy court in September 2024, enabled MPT to take back control of its real estate, immediately transition operations to quality replacement operators, and sever its relationship with Steward.

With Steward’s removal from our portfolio, we look forward to demonstrating the strength and resilience of MPT’s diversified portfolio of hospital real estate, our ability to create value for shareholders over the long-term, and the importance of our business model to an industry in dire need for more capital solutions.

Sincerely,
