Dividend coverage (FY2025)

Exceeded at least one reported measure. In FY2025, CHCT's dividend exceeded at least one reported measure of what it earned or generated (earnings payout 1052%, operating-cash-flow payout 95%). A payout above 100% in one year is not necessarily unsustainable, but it is not fully covered by that measure.

  • Earnings payout1052% dividends / net income
  • Operating-cash-flow payout95% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it

Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items.

How COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE TRUST INC looks technically

COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE TRUST INC (CHCT) is trading 17.8% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 23 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 44, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 4 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 4 trading days ago. It is 3.4% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year).

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($13.29 to $14.60) — its "stochastic" reading is 30 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.

Wave structure

Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $14.38.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $14.37 and $14.38 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.

This reading has stood for 7 trading days, since 2026-09-30.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)

  • Added:
    • Newer filing (2026-08-04) adds a second-quarter 2026 asset disposition disclosure: a property sold with net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million and a $46,000 gain on sale.
    • Newer filing (2026-08-04) adds that the net proceeds from asset dispositions were used to repay outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility.

  • Removed:
    • Older filing (2026-05-05) describes the first-quarter 2026 disposed property as located in Florida, classified as an asset held for sale, and recognized an immaterial loss; the newer filing removes the Florida location and asset held for sale classification but retains the $5.2 million proceeds and loss amount.
    • Older filing (2026-05-05) states the four acquisition pipeline properties are anticipated to close throughout 2026 and 2027; the newer filing replaces this with specific timing (one in third quarter 2026, one in fourth quarter 2026, remaining two in 2027).

    • Newer filing (2026-08-04) updates portfolio leased status date from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026 and lease activity period from first three months to first six months of 2026.

Short interest (FINRA)

CHCT had 3.27% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.45 days to cover at the same settlement.

  • Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 3.27%
  • Prior settlement (shares) 1,103,454
  • Reported change -15.2%
  • Days to cover (reported) 3.45

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
