Preferred Price-to-Sales of 4.5x: Is it justified?

On valuation, Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust changes hands at a P/S of 4.5x, while the SWS model points to a fair P/S of 4.8x and a discounted cash flow value of CA$84.64 against a last close of CA$63.26.

The price to sales ratio compares the market value of the equity to its annual revenue, which can be useful for real estate trusts where earnings are currently affected by non cash items or temporary tax effects. For Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust, the current 4.5x P/S multiple is slightly lower than the 4.8x level that the fair ratio model suggests the market could move toward based on its fundamentals.

Against peers, the picture is mixed. The units trade at a higher P/S than the peer average of 3.5x, which implies investors are paying more per dollar of revenue than for comparable residential REITs. At the same time, the 4.5x multiple is below the broader North American Residential REITs average of 4.9x, which signals the market is not pricing Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust at the upper end of sector valuations despite the fair ratio pointing to some headroom.
