The earnings call revealed mixed results: a decrease in total revenues and AFFO, but stable net income and occupancy. The Q&A highlighted management's unclear responses on key issues like rent collection and dividend sustainability.

Without a market cap, the prediction is neutral, expecting a -2% to 2% range.
