Company Description: Omega Healthcare Investors Inc. is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in income-producing healthcare facilities, mainly long-term care facilities located in the United States.
Fair Value: In calculating fair value, I consider the NPV MMA Differential Fair Value along with these four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Avg. High Yield Price
2. 20-Year DCF Price
3. Avg. P/E Price
4. Graham Number
OHI is trading at a discount to only 3.) above. When also considering the NPV MMA Differential, the stock is trading at a 12.8% discount to its calculated fair value of $35.76. OHI earned a Star in this section since it is trading at a fair value.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Free Cash Flow Payout
2. Debt To Total Capital
3. Key Metrics
4. Dividend Growth Rate
5. Years of Div. Growth
6. Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%
OHI earned one Star in this section for 3.) above. OHI earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 2003 and has increased its dividend payments for 18 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA) or Treasury bond? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. NPV MMA Diff.
2. Years to > MMA
OHI earned a Star in this section for its NPV MMA Diff. of $2,866. This amount is in excess of the $1,700 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as OHI has. The stock's current yield of 8.59% exceeds the 2.74% estimated 20-year average MMA rate.
Peers: The company’s peer group includes: Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (PEAK) with a 5.4% yield, Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (HR) with a 4.1% yield and Ventas, Inc. (VTR) with a 4.6%.
Conclusion: OHI earned one Star in the Fair Value section, earned one Star in the Dividend Analytical Data section and earned one Star in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of three Stars. This quantitatively ranks OHI as a 3-Star Hold stock.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to increase to $39.12 before OHI's NPV MMA Differential decreased to the $1,700 minimum that I look for in a stock with 18 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 6.8%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $1,700 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is -1.8%. This dividend growth rate is lower than the 0.8% used in this analysis, thus providing a slight margin of safety. OHI has a risk rating of 2.25 which classifies it as a Medium risk stock.
The stock is currently trading below my calculated fair value of $35.76. As a REIT OHI is required by law to pay out 90% of its earnings. Unfortunately, its Free Cash Flow payout is 108% (down from 111%). This has been one of my favorite REITs over the years. However, I will wait for its Free Cash Flow to improve adding to my position.

Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I was long in OHI (0.6% of my Dividend Growth Portfolio).
