Estimates Context
Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Given limited coverage, Wall Street consensus was unavailable; estimate adjustments will likely reflect lower interest income run-rate and higher tax provision seen in Q2 .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- EPS compression to $0.02 reflects lower interest income and a higher tax provision; watch for stabilization of interest income drivers and tax normalizing into 2H .
- Commercial occupancy improved to 57%, and Stanford Center leasing is contributing to rental revenue; continued execution on commercial leasing is a key upside lever .
- Operating expense control is evident (insurance and property taxes lower), helping narrow operating loss vs prior year; maintaining this discipline remains important .
- Asset monetization continues to add value (Windmill Farms lots), but Q2 gains were smaller than Q1; cadence of dispositions will impact quarterly earnings volatility .
- Deleveraging via the $10.8M loan payoff is positive for financial flexibility; focus turns to funding needs versus cash generation in coming quarters .
- With no formal guidance and limited Street coverage, stock may trade on occupancy milestones, leasing updates (Stanford Center and broader commercial portfolio), and transactional gains rather than earnings estimates .
- Near-term: monitor commercial occupancy trajectory and tax provision; medium-term: track Mountain Creek development progress and broader capital allocation (debt repay vs development) .
