Boenning & Scattergood analyst Merrill Ross maintained a Hold rating on NexPoint Residential Trust Inc (NXRT) today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $37.91, close to its 52-week high of $38.70.
Ross said:
“We believe that the market awards a premium valuation to REITs that can consistently grow NAV, and we think NAV will rise from our estimate of $31.85 at year-end 2018 to $38.50 at year- end 2019, based on annualized 4Q property net operating income. REITs that trade at a premium valuation are in a better position to create value for shareholders because they can issue equity to accretively buy assets. We maintain our Neutral rating solely on valuation; we believe the best time to buy the stock is on a discounted offering. We find the clear and long runway for continued NAV accretion through capital recycling and value-add renovation to be fundamentally appealing and would view any pullback as an opportunity for share accumulation.”
