Plain-Language Summary
Our base-case estimate uses P/FFO × Office REIT Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $36.00 from 21 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $34.21 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-based valuation: $23.70 (29% below 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
