AlphaQuality

Quantitative six-pillar business-quality grade

Real Estate Investment Trust

AlphaQuality — archetype-weighted quantitative grade

F 22.6 / 100 pillar composite

Composite Grade

Composite of six pillars weighted for real estate investment trust businesses. Purely quantitative — no stock price or analyst input.

⚠ 3 of the last 5 fiscal years showed negative net income — AlphaQuality will not grade above F for persistent unprofitability in a real estate investment trust business.

Grade overrides the 22.6 pillar composite because hard gates always win. Use the pillar breakdown below to see where the underlying numbers sit.

How this is calculated

AlphaQuality grades six pillars from 0-100 and weights each by archetype:

  • Profitability (20%) — FFO Margin
  • Capital Efficiency (15%) — 5yr Avg ROE, 5yr Share-Count CAGR
  • Growth Quality (15%) — 5yr FFO/Share CAGR, Positive-FFO Years (5)
  • Cash Generation (15%) — AFFO Dividend Coverage, 5yr FCF/NI
  • Balance Sheet (25%) — Debt / Assets, Interest Coverage (EBIT/Int)
  • Stability (10%) — EPS Volatility (σ/μ), Piotroski F-Score, Negative-Revenue Years (5)

We deliberately ignore stock price, analyst targets, and consensus ratings so the grade is suitable for backtesting forward returns. A minimum of 5 fiscal years of audited statements is required; distressed and highly leveraged infrastructure businesses are declared ungradable rather than forced into a numeric score.
