Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses P/FFO × Default REIT Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $12.00 from 12 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $19.72 per share.

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 9.1% is unusually high — make sure the company generates enough cash to keep paying it.
Wall Street's average price target is $12.00 (from 12 analysts). Our estimate is 80% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

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
