Net Lease Office Properties (NLOP) Stock

Net Lease Office Properties' shares are up 75% this year, driven by undervaluation and strategic property sales. Despite a shrinking asset base, NLOP's adjusted funds from operations remain undervalued, presenting a favorable risk-reward setup. NLOP is currently valued at a 23% discount to book value, though it traded at a much larger discount earlier this year.

Net Lease Office Properties is an office REIT with 94% exposure to the United States. Disposals, weaker occupancy, and a tough leasing environment have resulted in declining AFFO in Q3 2024. Leverage is no longer a concern, and I expect the pace of disposals to slow down.

Net Lease Office Properties, spun off from W. P. Carey, is undervalued despite a 61% YTD share price increase. NLOP's Q2'24 results showed strong revenue generation from 47 office properties, with significant tenants like JPMorgan & Chase and CVS Health. Asset sales have picked up in Q2, and the REIT achieved good prices. Near-term lease expirations, however, pose a risk.

Net Lease Office Properties had a solid start to the first quarter of 2024 with decent results reported earlier this month. The office REIT's adjusted FFO dropped by 14% compared to the previous year, mainly due to asset sales. Further decreases could be anticipated. Net Lease Office Properties is currently undervalued when considering AFFO and book value, and there is significant potential for upward revaluation.

Seeking Alpha coverage of Net Lease Office Properties lacks analysis of the stated liquidation strategy. NLOP is a liquidation vehicle with the purpose of selling off properties in an orderly manner. My estimated net liquidation value of NLOP is $1.1 billion, offering potentially 100% upside for investors.
