View in browser SPONSORED [URGENT] Trump opens Phase II While everyone chases the obvious mining stocks... Three tiny stocks are quietly positioning themselves to dominate Phase II of Trump's $150 trillion mineral boom. These types of Phase II companies have delivered some of the greatest gains of all time. But here's the critical part — these opportunities only last until institutional money wakes up. And my research shows that Trump’s next major move could unleash a 50X demand spike for these specific stocks. That’s why you need to act fast. Go here to get my analysis on Phase II of this Mineral Boom. SAFETY NET A 13% Yield That Could Be Upgraded Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club Community Healthcare Trust (NYSE: CHCT) has a remarkable dividend-raising track record. The company has boosted its dividend every quarter since it began paying one in 2015. The payout has been raised for 41 consecutive quarters. The increases aren't large - a quarter of a penny each time. While they have contributed to the current 13% annual yield, the big reason the stock has such a high yield is that the share price has fallen by two-thirds over the past three years. Community Healthcare Trust owns 200 properties in 36 states that are leased to doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare organizations. This is a small cap company that generates a little over $100 million in revenue per year. Despite the weak stock price, the company is profitable and cash flow positive. Let's see whether its cash flow is enough to sustain further quarterly raises. Because Community Healthcare Trust is a real estate investment trust, we use a measure of cash flow called funds from operations, or FFO. Last year, FFO climbed 7% to $51.2 million. This year, it is forecast to slip slightly to $50.9 million. That projected slight reduction in FFO is enough to earn Community Healthcare a penalty on its Safety Net rating. Negative cash flow growth is a big red flag. SPONSORED Claim Your FREE Ultimate Dividend Package (Seriously, put your wallet away!) CLICK HERE Since the difference between last year's total and the current estimate for this year is so small, it is possible the company reports positive FFO growth instead of slightly negative. If that occurs, Community Healthcare will earn an upgrade to its Safety Net rating. Another area of concern is the payout ratio. Again, the difference between a penalty and no penalty is very small. Last year, Community Healthcare paid shareholders $51.7 million in dividends against $51.2 million in FFO, so it paid more in dividends than it took in (but barely). This year, the gap is anticipated to widen a bit - to $53.5 million in dividends paid against $50.9 million in FFO. That would push the payout ratio up from 101% to 105%, still just above my 100% threshold for REITs. Over the first three quarters of 2025, FFO has totaled just $32.6 million, so the company would need a big fourth quarter to eclipse the current full-year estimate and cover the dividend.
