Alexander's: A NYC Retail REIT To Keep Benched, As Portfolio Growth Remains Quiet

Summary Alexander's is rated Hold, balancing high debt and limited growth against resilient leasing and strong market performance versus the S&P 500. ALX's high-yield dividend (~6.8%) offers diversification but carries elevated risk due to poor coverage (0.7x FFO/share) and flat growth trends. Portfolio concentration in NYC and limited expansion prospects constrain ALX's upside, while recent gains stemmed from a one-time asset sale. ALX trades at a rich valuation despite declining EBITDA margin and FFO, with consensus forecasts signaling downside and a cautious forward outlook. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's: Is The Dividend Safe?

Summary Alexander's is up year-to-date, outperforming its peers, even as its dividend looks less safe. Dividend coverage has slipped to 90%, down from 111% a year ago, as FFO and free cash flow continue to dip. The REIT faces $502 million in debt repayments this year against cash and cash equivalents of just $338.53 million. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's: Bloomberg Lease Secured, Is The Dividend Safe

Summary Alexander's has dipped materially from its 52-week high following a spike in the US 10-year Treasury yield. The REIT generated fiscal 2024 third-quarter FFO of $2.84 per share, down from its year-ago comp. A $354.8 million cash and cash equivalents position helps to provide a buffer for the REIT, but 2025 debt maturities are heavy and will pose a challenge. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's Is A Good Business That The Market Has Overestimated

Summary Alexander's, Inc. has underperformed since 2019, with a -1.7% TSR compared to SPY's 113%, due to declining profitability and rich valuations. Despite increasing NOPAT since 2020, the Company's GAAP net income and NOPAT margins have declined from 2019 highs, impacting overall profitability. Management has created value with $154 million in economic earnings since 2019, but ALX remains overvalued with unrealistic growth expectations. Alexander's stock is not recommended due to its inability to meet market expectations and reward investors despite its operational improvements. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's Inc.:  Numerous Signs Of Distress

Summary Office REITs have gained modestly this year, but face challenges due to the WFH trend and mounting defaults in commercial real estate loans. Alexanders, Inc. is a small-cap REIT with a portfolio of office and retail properties in New York City, facing heavy indebtedness, shrinking revenues, and reliance on a single tenant. ALX faces liquidity issues, and may need to cut dividends or dilutively issue new shares, making it a risky investment for the longer term. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's: Hold On To This 8.8% Yield From New York City

Summary Alexander's has maintained its dividend through recent chaos, offering an 8.8% dividend yield. The REIT's coverage of its dividend is at 88% against its full-year 2023 FFO. There is $500 million in debt maturing debt in 2024 which needs to be refinanced or extended. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's: A Lot Of Risks For A Small Discount

Summary Alexander's, Inc. is a REIT that owns and manages 5 retail properties in New York City. The REIT's operating performance is concerning, with low occupancy rates and minimal revenue growth. There are also risks associated with portfolio concentration, significant tenant dependency, and upcoming mortgage maturities.

Alexander's 10% Yield Seems Compelling But Faces Headwinds

Summary Alexander's fiscal 2023 third quarter FFO dipped heavily from its year-ago comp. This has put at risk a historically stable payout as the dividend coverage now stands at 81%. A large cash position means ALX can sustain its dividend payments for years, but it faces upcoming debt maturities that will require refinancing. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's, Inc.: The Needle Is Pointing Down

Summary Office REITs in urban areas with long commutes will likely continue to struggle due in large measure to the WFH trend. Alexander's Inc. owns 5 properties in the New York metropolitan area, including the world headquarters of Bloomberg. Shares in ALX have been losing value for nearly 10 years and revenues are declining significantly. ALX is in imminent danger of a dividend cut in the face of declining revenues and heavy near-term debt maturities. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Alexander's: Bottom Fishing On This Commercial REIT Could Be Risky

Alexander's is witnessing higher demand and has an active pipeline in the retail real estate segment. However, it is struggling in the office market. Steady demand and higher rents can only happen in the long run, as in the short run, ALX’s huge vacancies will get absorbed at low rents. A mid-to-high single-digit FFO growth will not be good enough to sustain ALX’s current yield in case the price rises, even by a low percentage. Alexander's Inc. Alexander's, Inc. (ALX) is a real estate investment trust ((REIT)) which leases, manages, and develops properties primarily in the retail segment. The company's portfolio comprises retail and office properties located in metropolitan and suburban areas of New York City. Alexander's major tenants include financial institutions, fashion and accessories stores, toy shops, homeware and furniture stores, and department stores. The company generates revenue from leasing to tenants, and rents generated from parking spaces. The majority of consolidated revenue is derived from tenant leases. Alexander's activities are conducted through its manager, Vornado Realty Trust (VNO). ALX has 6 properties in the greater New York City metropolitan area consisting of - 731 Lexington Avenue office and retail (including Bloomberg, L.P.'s world headquarters), the Rego Center complex in Rego Park, Queens, including the Rego Park I, II, and III retail properties and The Alexander apartment tower, and a retail property located in Flushing, NY. By the beginning of May 2022, ALX had a utilization of just 46 percent. Rentals and FFO During Q1 2022 During Q1 2022, ALX's fund from operations ((FFO)) grew by 22 percent, primarily due to rent commencement on new office and retail leases. Retail leasing activity in the first quarter consisted of six lease contracts totaling 20,000 square feet with average starting rents of $172 per square foot. All these lease contracts have long term maturities. The company has an active pipeline and strong interest in the Penn district in particular. However, it is struggling in the office market. In Chicago, the office market continues to be challenged with direct vacancy and historically high levels of concessions provided to tenants. Still, almost 0.15 million square feet of new leases have been finalized in Q1, 2022, including an 81,000 square foot of Avant's (a lending FinTech company) headquarter and a 34,000 square foot renewal of Steelcase's showroom. The company also has almost 70,000 square feet of leases in negotiation. In San Francisco, although the overall vacancy rate is 15 percent, 555 California is almost 97 percent occupied. Dividend Yield Alexander's, Inc.'s market price has been in a steady fall over the past five years. Price dropped by almost 45 percent. Prior to that the share traded around $400 for several years. The falling prices resulted in a relatively higher yield. The average yield over the past four years is little over 6 percent, and it has generated a yield in the range of 5 percent to 7 percent. The yield over the trailing twelve months (TTM yield) is 7.8 percent. Without a doubt, this REIT is trying to generate high yield for its investors. This commercial REIT has paid regular quarterly dividends since 2010. The company made a steady growth in the pay-out, and despite such drastic impact of covid-19 pandemic, it has been able to continue with the same pay-out. At present the pay-out is marginally more than its FFO. This denotes a small part of its dividend is financed from capital, primarily from the sale proceeds of office properties. The company also possesses a high degree of liquid assets of $4 billion, including $1.8 billion of cash, restricted cash and investments in US treasury bills. Impact of Inflation, Interest Rates, and Looming Recession Commercial real estate, such as retail spaces, hotels, and office buildings, takes years to be developed and operationalised. In case the demand for retail spaces shoots up, as happened at the end of 2021, rent of retail properties shifts upwards, as it is not possible to meet the supply in the short term. Also, the properties are likely to witness full occupancy. This is what happened to Alexander's, Inc. The company has retail properties and parking spaces in prime locations, which surely will continue the steady flow of revenues. Office REITs, however, are having a difficult time due to the rising popularity of the work from home options. Alexander's, Inc. is already facing a low occupancy, as well as prospective lease termination in the coming years. The present value of the estimated additional lease liability is expected to reduce Alexander's earnings by $21 million this year. With the current market volatility and rising interest rates, the financing markets are also in an uncertain situation.

Alexander's: An Excellent Value Stock Currently Yielding 7%

Alexander's owns iconic properties in the NYC region, and is seeing signs of a rebound. Yet its stock trades in value territory. If the recent City Office transaction is any indication, it could mean a public and private market price dislocation for Alexander's as well. I also highlight the balance sheet, dividends, and other points worth considering.
