Summary
At $12.39 FFO/share with a 15x retail REIT multiple, the base-case value is $230.74 per share. Dividend yield: 7.3%. DDM cross-check: $335.45.
Warnings
Standard profit figures are misleading for real estate companies — large non-cash accounting charges make profits look artificially low. Dividend yield and funds from operations are better measures.
Dividend yield of 7.3% is unusually high — make sure the company generates enough cash to keep paying it.
Dividend-based valuation: $335.45 (45% above our primary estimate). Large gaps suggest the dividend may not fully reflect the company's value.
Key Risks
- P/E and EV/EBITDA are structurally wrong for REITs — use P/FFO and NAV
- Interest rate sensitivity: REIT multiples compress when rates rise
- FFO approximation (NI + D&A) may include gains on property sales — verify
