LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2023 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of W. P. Carey Inc. ("W.

INVESTOR ACTION NOTICE: The Schall Law Firm Announces it is Investigating Claims Against W. P. Carey Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

W.P. Carey just announced that it's spinning off its office assets and selling whatever offices remain behind. The net-lease REIT will also be resetting its dividend, so the adjusted FFO payout ratio is between 70% and 75%.

Where Will W.P. Carey Be in 1 Year?

W.P Carey (NYSE: WPC) stock price has been in a strong freefall in the past few months. This sell-off gained steam this month when the company made huge changes to its business and effectively slashed their dividend.

W.P Carey stock price has nosedived: don't buy the dip for now

Commercial real estate has come under pressure over the last year due to multidecade high interest rates. W.P. Carey recently announced it would exit all of its office properties by the first quarter of next year.

This High-Yield Real Estate Stock Is Eliminating Its Office Exposure. Here's What That Means for Investors.

W. P. Carey is ending its 24-year dividend growth streak, angering income investors and raising doubts about the company's future. The decision to exit office properties, slash the dividend, and reset the payout ratio has shocked the market. Management's explanation for the sudden announcement is baffling and even its own slide presentation proves its logic faulty.

W. P. Carey: I'm No Longer Sleeping Well At Night

Real estate investment trust W. P. Carey is separating itself from its office portfolio through a spin-off and asset sales. The spin-off will result in a more concentrated focus on industrial and warehouse properties. The market's reaction to the spin-off is exaggerated, and W. P. Carey's shares are selling at a low AFFO multiplier factor.

W. P. Carey: I Am Aggressively Buying The Lows, Here's Why

W. P. Carey announces a strategic plan to exit office and cut dividends, causing a negative reaction from shareholders. The plan involves creating a new REIT with excessive debt and expensive interest expenses. The decision is seen as unnecessary and will result in value destruction and a drop in share price.

W. P. Carey Teaches A Class On Value Destruction

W. P. Carey's spinoff of its office assets resulted in a 10% drop in stock price over two days due to poor communication with investors. The spinoff is expected to have a minimal impact on cashflows and growth trajectory, and the discount in stock price is seen as an opportunity. The dividend cut tanked the stock, but is actually a strategic move to retain capital for future growth and maximize total returns.

W. P. Carey's Misunderstood Spinoff

W. P. Carey has underperformed the S&P 500 by almost 40% in the last year, and the new office spin off and dividend cut do not favor the stock. While W. P. Carey's dividend yield is attractive at 7.4%, there are 3 REITs that are likely to outperform based on AFFO and dividend growth. The timing to exit the office properties in a depreciated environment can weigh heavy on the stock, investors should look for better opportunities.

While W. P. Carey Might Look Attractive, These 3 REITs Are Likely To Outperform

W. P. Carey announces spin-off of office real estate portfolio into a separate publicly traded real estate investment trust. The spin-off transaction will result in a less risky investment portfolio, but the dividend is expected to be reduced. W. P. Carey's move to remove struggling office assets from its portfolio may lead to a valuation re-rating and narrowing valuation gap with peers.

Billionaire Investors Buy When There Is Blood In The StREITs

W. P. Carey announced a spinoff and sale of its office properties, leading to a dividend cut and a negative market reaction. The company's heavy external growth model and high payout ratio have hindered dividend growth and overall growth per share cash earnings. The spinoff and dividend cut may allow W. P. Carey to use retained earnings for more growth, but the success of the strategy remains uncertain.
