James Feldman has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Centerspace’s strategic and operational outlook. The decision to maintain a Hold rating reflects the company’s ongoing strategic review and the potential for a sale, which is currently estimated at a 50% probability. This uncertainty, combined with the company’s multi-year plan to sell non-core assets and redeploy proceeds, suggests that while there is potential for future growth, it is not immediate enough to warrant an upgrade.
Additionally, while Centerspace has shown some operational improvements, such as increased renewal rates in certain markets, challenges remain, particularly in the Denver area. The company’s plan to focus on larger metro areas and expand into new markets like Salt Lake City and Boulder/Ft. Collins is promising, but the benefits of these strategies are expected to materialize over time. Therefore, the current valuation, which incorporates a blend of NAV and AFFO multiple, supports a Hold rating as the estimated total return does not yet match that of other outperforming REITs.
