Medical Properties Q2 NFFO Misses Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y

Medical Properties Trust, Inc. MPW — also known as MPT — reported third-quarter 2025 normalized funds from operations (NFFO) per share of 13 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents. This compared unfavorably with 16 cents per share recorded in the prior-year quarter.

Results reflect a marginal decrease in straight-line rent revenues and an increase in interest expenses. Rent billed, income from financing leases and interest and other income revenues grew year over year.

MPT clocked in revenues of $237.5 million in the third quarter, slightly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $237.8 million. However, the figure increased 5.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Per Edward K. Aldag, Jr., chairman, president and CEO, “With cash rents ramping and increased opportunities to turn low-yielding assets into cash, we have growing flexibility to address our near-term debt maturities. With the added expectation for near-term recoveries from Prospect, we feel comfortable with our liquidity and believe strongly that MPT stock is one of the best investments we can make.”
