Price Dislocation In Diversified REITs
Diversified REITs are trading at a 24% discount to the value implied by their underlying real estate assets, based on cap rate analysis. This discount exists despite diversified REITs owning similar property mixes as pure-play REITs, suggesting a mispricing opportunity for investors. While some valuation gap is justified, I believe the current discount is excessive and presents a compelling opportunity in diversified REITs.

W. P. Carey: ~9% Operational Yield At Cheap Valuations
WPC has delivered outsized performance metrics in H1'25, thanks to the excellent spreads from the higher investment returns/ rental hikes and the low cost of capital. With a H1'25 AFFO per share execution at $2.45 (+6% YoY), we believe that a further beat/ raise performance is likely in the upcoming FQ3'25 earnings call. These reasons may also be why WPC's technical indicators remain promising, with it seemingly pointing to a durable upward momentum and a potential breakout.
