Michael Markidis has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Boardwalk REIT’s current and future performance. While the company delivered strong Q2 results with notable growth in SP-NOI and FFOPU, the narrowing embedded MTM in non-regulated markets suggests a moderation in revenue growth in the upcoming quarters. This moderation is a key concern as it indicates that the robust growth seen may not be sustainable in the long term.
Additionally, although there is ample capacity to fund net growth with a stable net debt and improved TTM D/EBITDA, the slowing demand amidst elevated supply levels poses a risk. The sequential revenue growth might decelerate faster than the market expects, adding uncertainty to future performance. These factors combined lead to a cautious outlook, justifying the Hold rating despite the positive financial adjustments and acquisitions planned for the near future.
