Kucera observed:
“We are lowering our earnings estimates for Properties, Inc. (NNN), post a 7M common-share offering, with net proceeds anticipated to be utilized to redeem the company’s $287.5M series E preferred (5.7% coupon) in early 4Q19. Given some expected dilution from elevated cash levels in 3Q19, we are reducing our 3Q19 core FFO estimate, from $0.69 to $0.68, while also lowering our 2019 core FFO estimate, from $2.75 to $2.74. In addition, we lower our 2020E core FFO estimate, from $2.87 to $2.84. Our unchanged $55 price target represents a premium to peers, at 20.1x 2019E core FFO, vs. peers trading at 19.5x, or 126% of NAV.”
