Orion Office REIT: Potential for Value Following Recent Stock Downturn

We shifted back to a sell rating on Orion Office due to increased office distress and doubts about the company's ability to out-earn its current enterprise value. Q4-2023 earnings showed a miss in funds from operations but there were bigger issues that came to light. We go over our logic of sticking with the sell rating despite the huge drop in stock price.

Orion Office REIT Inc. is a new company formed from the office properties of Realty Income and VEREIT upon their merger. The office sector is currently out of favor, but the need for office spaces will likely increase in the future. The stock price has been dropping, but spinoffs tend to outperform the market over time and the company has potential for long-term success.

We had previously upgraded Orion from a Sell to a Hold, as we saw the possibility of it out-earning its enterprise value. The fundamentals have actually worsened and the REIT looks to have a challenging 2024. We give you three reasons why you should consider exiting.
