I one solution to the topic tests it says: "A lower capitalization rate (i.e., a lower NOI with such other parameters as interest costs and corporate expenses being the same) implies a lower FFO "
Value = NOI/cap. Hence, a lower cap implies a higher value, and should not then a higher value correspond to a higher FFO?
Can you refer the book, chapter and page where this appers? Want to check the context of the word.
Thanks
There was another thread on exactly this question a couple of weeks ago. Try the search function.
The short answer is that the statement assumes that the property value remains the same.
- An analyst gathers the following information for two REITs:
Price/NAV
Capitalization rate used in NAV
REIT A
100%
6%
REIT B
99%
8%
If the REITs have similar property portfolio values, interest expense, and corporate overhead, which REIT most likely has the higher Price/FFO?
Solution to 1: REIT A is correct. A lower capitalization rate (i.e., a lower NOI with such other parameters as interest costs and corporate expenses being the same) implies a lower FFO and hence a higher P/FFO ratio if P/NAV ratios are similar, as is the case here.
