Summary
At $0.04 FFO/share with a 20x default REIT multiple, the base-case value is $4.15 per share. Dividend yield: 16.8%. DDM cross-check: $11.93.
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 16.8% is unusually high — make sure the company generates enough cash to keep paying it.
Dividend-based valuation: $11.93 (187% 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
