When Your REIT Will Cut Its Dividend

Dividend cut announcements trigger sharp REIT sell-offs, regardless of whether cuts are forced by trouble or are responsible capital allocation decisions. I consistently find opportunity in buying REITs after responsible dividend cuts, as the market often overreacts despite strong underlying fundamentals. Historical examples like WPC, BRX, KIM, WSR, and GOOD show significant price recovery after responsible cuts, offering attractive entry points for investors.

We have rated HPP a sell since January 2024. The recent quarter once again validated the thesis. If you want to chase yield, go for the bonds where we think recovery to current price is possible in the best-case scenario.

Although the revenue and EPS for Hudson Pacific (HPP) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended March 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.09 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.08 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.17 per share a year ago.

Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP) appears heavily discounted at 30% of NAV, but high leverage changes the math. An 18% decline in asset value could wipe out common shares, highlighting the risk despite the apparent discount. Investment success hinges on a fundamental turnaround in HPP's office assets, not just the current low stock price.
