Piedmont
Here is the information I promised in an earlier post on the Piedmont REIT:

Data as of 2Q 2007
  • FFO/Share (six months) $0.291
  • Annualized FFO/Share $0.581
  • Div Per Share (six months) $0.29
  • Annualized Div Per Share $0.587
  • Payout 99.01%
  • Div Yield 6.99%
  • Leo's Shares 19,568,641
  • Leo's Ann Dividend $11,482,878.54
  • Leo's Ownership % 4.07%
  • Leos' Value at Adj. Par $164,180,897.99
  • Adjusted Par Value $8.39
Leo's annual dividend will help ease the headache caused by Piedmont deferring its listing. The REIT returned approximately $1.61 per share in 2005 due to property sales, which is why the adjusted par value is $8.39 and not $10 per share. The yields are based on this adjusted share value. I need to find the REIT's FFO growth rate. I will have to investigate this along with the current FFO multiples for other REITs. A low growth rate would logically put the valuation at the low end of the multiple range.
