Key Takeaways for Investors
- SHOP’s strong same-store cash NOI growth (+27.2% YoY) and margin expansion (21.5%) are the primary earnings driver heading into year-end and potential listing-related milestones .
- AFFO/FFO per share trajectory improved materially in Q3, indicating healthier cash economics even as GAAP results reflect impairments and interest costs .
- OMF remains stable on a YoY basis, but monitor near-term QoQ softness and occupancy mix given the modest 1.6% QoQ decline in same-store cash NOI .
- Balance sheet is trending better: net leverage down to 8.9x; sustained debt reduction and preferred actions support equity value creation and listing readiness .
- Continued dispositions and capital recycling should underpin leverage and fund selective growth, with limited execution risk evidenced by recent gains on sales .
- Lack of explicit numerical guidance places more focus on quarterly execution signals (NOI growth, occupancy, margins) and capital structure progress .
- Near-term trading: positive bias tied to SHOP momentum and deleveraging; medium-term thesis hinges on sustaining NOI growth, normalizing GAAP P&L (lower impairments/interest), and delivering on listing preparation narrative .
