Downgraded from 7 to 6. Analyst consensus upside only 8%. DCF stale. REIT with mixed retail property exposure. No compelling thesis or catalyst at current price. Solid dividend payer but neutral return outlook.
FRT validated core thesis on strong rent growth (15% cash spreads, 2.5M sq ft leasing record) and pricing power. 2025 FFO +6.6% YoY, 2026 guidance +5.1-6.5% despite 3-3.5% comp growth implies steady. Occupancy 94.5% robust for sector. Debt 5.7x EBITDA elevated but refinancing underway. Elevated leverage + modest FFO growth keep conviction at 7 (from 6) — hold thesis but watch leverage. Fair value in 3-4% yield environment.
