- MEQIRI Score 32 out of 100 (Weak): rank 321 of 327 in Real Estate, median 55.
- For real estate investment trusts (REITs) what counts is funds from operations (FFO and AFFO). The P/E and the payout ratio of earnings say little here, because depreciation on properties depresses earnings.

Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapIn our model the price counts as cheap below $7.30 and expensive above $17.03 (uncertainty high, mortgage REIT, the fair value is book value alone).
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but score below 50, high risk, weak growth.
Valuation metrics
For mortgage REITs the fair value is book value per share: equity excluding preferred stock from the latest balance sheet, divided by the shares on the same date. The signal therefore assumes at least high uncertainty.
