RE:RE:RE:WTI and BNE stock price.Sclarda, what matters is the div payout ratio. All yields are not equal.
the other high yielders you are comparing to (VET, WCP..) have far higher payout ratios at those levels.
For BNE to reach an 8% yield for example, like WCP, it is only 13.7mm per year, or at current FFO, about 12%.
WCP’s 8% yield is over 25% of FFO. BNE would support a 16% yield at the same payout ratio as WCP. BNE is focused on debt reduction, but if were to assume equal leverage for this example purpose, obviously benchmarking one vs the other simply on headline yield is not a good strategy.
as is often the case, there is more to it than just saying “company x has x yield” and making a surface leve comparison.
As for the market being stupid... just take one look at a TCK -b 10 year chart and tel me with a straight face that it reflects an efficient, rational market. The folks I bought my shares from in late 2015/early 2016 would be the first ones to agree.
if you really believe these claims you make, then what on Earth are you doing on an individual stock investing board? Shouldn’t you be over in CD’s and index funds, since following individual stocks is clearly a fools errand?
