Headline: Adding to Best Idea Short List
This morning we are adding Camden Property Trust (CPT) to the Best Idea Short list, which will for sure be controversial but:
- The RoC of growth is peaking and very likely slowing heading into 2H22 and FY23 - we are modeling FY23 SSRev +4.8% and SSNOI +4.7% vs. +10.1% and +13.5%, respectively, for FY22. We think the Street is somewhere near +6% to +6.5% on SSNOI for next year. As a result we are about +5% above the Street on FY23 Core FFO estimates ($6.79/share vs. $7.15). So we see a combination of RoC slowdown on all the key metrics + numbers that are too high and need to come down.
- We would also highlight that we are struggling to get there on FY22 numbers relative to CPT's guidance, so there could be downward revision risk for this year as well.
- The spread widens slightly more on an AFFO basis - we are at ~$5.95/share inclusive of a 12% of NOI maintenance capex assumption, or about -6.5% below consensus of $6.35/share. In general we think capex assumptions are too low, especially as CPT tucks in older vintage assets from the recent acquisition of Texas Teachers' JV stake.
- On that JV buyout, management hinted at an initial ~4.4% FFO yield on the deal. That is 4.4% to the equity, not on an unlevered basis, for an asset that is more highly levered than the balance of CPT and definitionally taking up combined company leverage from 3.8x to ~4.4x adj. net debt / EBITDA. CPT has a relatively strong balance sheet to be clear, but paying a full price at the cycle top for stabilized assets with likely deferred capex is not a wise capital allocation decision in our view. Different subsector, but it reminds us of CUBE's fully stabilized deal in late-2021 which the market hated and does not typically work well heading into a Quad 4 and overall RoC slowdown.
- The pushback will no doubt be that the recent correction in Apartment REIT equities has more than compensated for this and the stock is "cheap" on a relative basis, but we would not want to own anything on the long side right now that is staring at a downward estimate revision cycle while currently at peak RoC.
- We think this is a solid pair option against a Long of Equity Residential (EQR), and if you want / need to be long of the Sunbelt apartment would very much prefer Mid-America (MAA).
