RE:RE:RE:RE:Seeking ALpha headline
RE:RE:RE:RE:Seeking ALpha headline I disagree that the common distribution is at risk.
Current normalized free cash flow (AFFO) is give or take equal to total distributions paid (common + pref; or ~100% AFFO payout). At the margin, as Artis sells assets, Artis loses the NOI return ( or capitalization rate) ranging from 5%-7%. The proceeds from asset sales can then be deployed to: 1) debt reduction (7%+ interest rate); 2) buyback pref units (10%+ effective cost); and, 3) common units (8%+ AFFO return / distribution yield).
All three options are accretive to Artis' free cashflow.
This dosn't even address the fact that Artis will benefit meaningfully should rates continue to fall.
We all have to allocate capital and manage risk based on the information we have available to us. All the best.
