CTO Stock Recent News

WINTER PARK, Fla., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE: CTO) (the “Company” or “CTO”) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized, and the Company has declared, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2024 (the “Common Stock Cash Dividend”). The Common Stock Cash Dividend represents an annualized yield of approximately 7.8% based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on November 18, 2024.

CTO Realty Growth, Inc. has been expanding aggressively since 2019, achieving robust revenue and net income growth, making it an excellent choice for real estate diversification. CTO's third quarter 2024 performance highlights a 22% CAGR, significant investments, and strategic asset monetization, showcasing its adaptability and growth-oriented approach. CTO's valuation metrics, including a 7.72% dividend yield and strong cash flow ratios, underscore its potential for income generation and capital appreciation.

Real estate activity is rebounding as macroeconomic uncertainties clear, with significant leasing volume in data centers and retail sectors, leading to future revenue visibility. SNO leases in data centers and retail REITs provide excellent visibility into future annual base rent, impacting future FFO growth as leases commence in 2025-2026. Retail REITs like CTO and Brixmor benefit from high-margin SNO leases filling vacant spaces, translating to substantial AFFO growth, unlike lower-margin data center leases.

Earning season is crucial, with big tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon reporting, potentially driving the market higher. The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio saw a healthy retracement, maintaining a 24.65% ROI, with a focus on diversification and recurring income. Added to positions in Ford and NextEra Energy Partners to enhance dividend income, projecting $1,910 in forward dividend income by year-end.

The Federal Reserve's recent 50 bps rate cut and projected future cuts in 2024 signal a potential favorable shift for the REITs sectors. The latest JOLTS Report fell short of expectations. September job openings slid to 7.443M from 7.861M in August, and layoffs and discharges rose, a potential opportunity for more rate cuts. REITs benefit from a lower-rate environment due to reduced borrowing costs and more attractive dividend yields relative to bonds that can drive investor demand and share prices.

There are substantial valuation gaps among REIT sectors, with some justified by fundamentals and others representing mispricing, providing investment opportunities in undervalued sectors. Hotels and office REITs face significant challenges, including erratic earnings, high costs, and post-COVID demand shifts, making them risky investments despite low multiples. Diversified and retail REITs are undervalued; diversified REITs are misunderstood, and retail REITs have growth potential due to long-term lease roll-ups.
