- MEQIRI Score 57 out of 100 (Neutral): rank 136 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
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $80.27 and expensive above $120.40 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $96.67 (cash-flow model) and $95.97 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $88.30, at 7.8% it would be $108.34.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from operating cash flow per share times the median price to cash flow of the REIT industry (13.9). For the fair value, FFO only counts when it is in line with operating cash flow. That is not the case here, for example because the REIT carries its properties at market value, records little depreciation or a gain on sale sits in earnings. The cash-flow model uses AFFO: operating cash flow less maintenance, estimated at 9% of revenue. New construction and acquisitions do not count as running costs there.
