MPW Medical Properties Trust concerning float short of 34.96%

Medical Properties Trust, a real estate investment trust specializing in acquiring and developing net-leased hospital properties since 2003, currently has a concerning float short of 34.96% as of June 20.
This high short interest signals significant bearish sentiment among investors.

For the first quarter of FY2024, MPW reported a stark decline in total revenue, dropping to $271.3 million from $350.2 million in the previous year. The company also faced a staggering net loss of $736 million, or $1.23 per share. This substantial loss was primarily due to $693 million in impairments related to the Steward Health Care System.

Adding to the company's woes, Prospect Medical Holdings, one of MPW's largest and struggling tenants, revealed it had received a subpoena last year from the Justice Department. This development further underscores the potential risks and challenges facing Medical Properties Trust.

I'm looking at purchasing the $3 strike price puts expiring on January 17, 2025, currently priced at $0.40.
