- MEQIRI Score 72 out of 100 (Strong): rank 12 of 325 in Real Estate, median 55.
- The P/E is 28.2 (REIT (Specialty) median 32.9, own median of recent years 22.7).
- 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.
- Our model puts fair value at $168.23, with the price 5% below it.

Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $140.19 and expensive above $210.29 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $173.87 (cash-flow model) and $162.60 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly below both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $153.77, at 7.8% it would be $189.93.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from FFO per share times the median price to FFO of the REIT industry (18.5). For REITs, depreciation on buildings depresses earnings, so FFO counts instead of earnings, here following the industry rule (Nareit) from the filings with the SEC: gains on property sales are deducted where the company reports them in the standard items. The cash-flow model uses AFFO: operating cash flow less maintenance, estimated at 4% of revenue, and less preferred dividends. New construction and acquisitions do not count as running costs there.
