How each method works
Price / FFO: $3.92 to $9.38 (midpoint $4.75)
Values a REIT at a peer multiple of funds from operations (FFO) — the real-estate cash-flow measure that adds back property depreciation, the sector-standard earnings proxy.
- How it’s calculated
- We compute funds from operations (FFO) — net income with the large non-cash property depreciation charge added back — per share, and apply the range of price-to-FFO multiples comparable REITs trade at.
- Why it fits this industry
- Accounting depreciation writes buildings down on a schedule even when the properties hold or gain value, so plain earnings understate a REIT's cash generation; FFO is the real-estate sector's standard earnings measure.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. Our FFO uses reported depreciation add-backs; any adjustments we could not make from the filings are noted on the bar.
Price / FFO = (6.28/7.60/15.02)× ffo_per_share 0.62 ≈ 3.92/4.75/9.38 (per_share)
EV / EBITDA: $1.54 to $9.38 (midpoint $6.37)
Values the whole business at a peer multiple of its cash operating earnings (EBITDA) — the workhorse comparison for capital-intensive, profitable companies.
- How it’s calculated
- We take the company's cash operating earnings over the last twelve months (EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and multiply them by the range of EV/EBITDA multiples comparable companies currently trade at. That gives a value for the whole business (enterprise value); we then subtract net debt and anything owed ahead of common shareholders — minority interests in subsidiaries and preferred stock — and divide by shares outstanding to get a per-share range.
- Why it fits this industry
- REITs carry large, lumpy depreciation on buildings that often hold their value, so cash operating earnings (EBITDA) compare property businesses more fairly than accounting profit.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. A company can also deserve a multiple above or below its peers — faster growth, stronger margins, or higher risk all justify honest gaps.
EV / EBITDA = (10.00/15.49/18.90)× ebitda 16,908,000 ≈ 169,109,332.96/261,830,527.40/319,585,220.88 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (29,585,332.96/122,306,527.40/180,061,220.88) / 19,198,301 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt 113,643,000, minus minority interest & preferred 25,881,000]
EV / Revenue: $11.01 to $29.73 (midpoint $14.57)
Values the whole business at a peer multiple of sales — used when earnings are thin, volatile, or not yet meaningful, so revenue is the most reliable yardstick.
- How it’s calculated
- We multiply the company's last-twelve-month revenue by the range of EV/Revenue multiples its peer group trades at, subtract net debt and any minority interests or preferred stock ranking ahead of common shareholders, and divide by shares outstanding for a per-share range.
- Why it fits this industry
- When profits are thin, volatile, or still to come, revenue is the most dependable figure a company reports — this method values the business on the scale of what it actually sells.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. A pound of revenue is worth more at a high margin than a low one, so the peer group here is narrowed to companies earning a similar margin wherever enough of them exist. Where too few do, the bar falls back to the wider group and is the bluntest of the multiples — weigh it alongside the earnings-based bars.
EV / Revenue = (8.09/9.67/16.38)× revenue 43,367,000 ≈ 350,808,834.75/419,291,462.46/710,296,025.97 (enterprise_value); enterprise_value -> per share: equity (211,284,834.75/279,767,462.46/570,772,025.97) / 19,198,301 shares [EV bridge: minus net debt 113,643,000, minus minority interest & preferred 25,881,000]
P / B: $11.74 to $30.43 (midpoint $18.12)
Values the stock at a peer multiple of its book (net asset) value — most meaningful for asset-heavy and financial companies whose balance sheet drives value.
- How it’s calculated
- We take book value per share (total assets minus total liabilities, from the latest balance sheet, divided by shares outstanding) and multiply it by the range of price-to-book multiples the peer group trades at.
- Why it fits this industry
- Property companies are valued on what their assets are worth; price-to-book asks how the market prices the portfolio relative to its carrying value.
- Reading this bar
- The bar is the per-share value range this method implies: a conservative low, a central estimate, and an optimistic high. If the current price sits below the bar, the market is pricing the shares below what this method's inputs suggest; if it sits above, the market is pricing them higher. No single bar is a verdict — methods disagree for good reasons, so read the whole field together. Asset-light companies (brands, software) legitimately trade far above book value, so for them a P/B bar well below the price is usually structure, not signal.
P / B = (0.53/0.81/1.36)× book_value_per_share 22.34 ≈ 11.74/18.12/30.43 (per_share)
3 methods not shown
- EV / Gross Profit: gross profit is not a valuation metric for this sector (financial / rental revenue has no cost-of-goods concept) — EV/Gross-Profit not applied
- P / E: the market prices this company far outside its sector's P / E range (its own multiple is 3,717.67 vs a sector band of 11.55–37.33) — a sector-average bar would be misleading here, so it is withheld
- DCF (FCFF): base unlevered FCF is non-positive (-23,972,743.39) — nothing to discount; a standard FCFF DCF does not apply
