- NETL: Net Lease Is Outperforming the Broader Real Estate Index This Year “Net lease REITs typically trade at an average FFO multiple of about 17x, but today they trade at an average FFO multiple of 12.2x. That implies almost 40% valuation upside back to its normal level. Assuming a 5% growth rate for NETL's holdings and that the 40% valuation upside is spread across the next five years, that implies total returns of 18% annually for NETL from its current price. That's 5% from dividends, 5% from growth, and 8% from valuation upside.” (Seeking Alpha)

Why? “On a recent night at the Dining Room at RH Guesthouse New York — a restaurant from the home-design company formerly known as Restoration Hardware — the server began her tableside spiel with a paean to the surroundings: ‘Welcome to our very beige space.’ The room, she explained, was built from white oak and Italian travertine.
