UHT Price Forecast Based on Dividend Discount Model

A technique commonly used by dividend investors to value dividend-issuing stocks is the Dividend Discount Model (DDM), which seeks to determine a fair share price based on the dividend provided by the company relative to a number of other company-specific factors. Regarding Universal Health Realty Income Trust, the DDM model generated by StockNews estimates a return of negative 42.54% in comparison to its current price. To help understand and contextualize the model's evaluation of UHT, investors may wish to consider are:

• If we compare the valuation opportunity a dividend discount model provides relative to other dividend stocks in the Real Estate sector, the expected return of -42.54%, based on the stock's current share price and target price based on a dividend discount model, is greater than just 14.36% of the DDM-forecasted return of its its sector peers.
• Compared to all dividend issuing stocks in our set, UHT has a discount rate lower than just 14.36% of them (a lower discount rate is associated with lower risk).
• A stock's beta generally indicates its volatility relative to the broader equity market; as for UHT, approximately 4.76% of US-listed dividend issuers had a higher beta, and thus may have greater price volatility.
