Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Citizens JMP analyst Mitch Germain reiterated a Market Outperform rating and $32.00 price target on Safehold (NYSE:SAFE), representing over 100% upside from the current price of $15.13, following virtual investor meetings with the company’s management team. According to InvestingPro data, the stock trades at attractive multiples with a P/E ratio of 10.5x and P/B of 0.46x.
The meetings included Safehold Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jay Sugarman, Chief Financial Officer Brett Asnas, and Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets Pearse Hoffmann, during which management highlighted the company’s highly scalable and diversified portfolio of high credit quality investments. The company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 40.7x, indicating robust liquidity management.
Safehold has grown its portfolio from approximately $300 million at its 2017 IPO to $6.8 billion across roughly 150 ground leases as of the first quarter of 2025, with investments diversified across sectors and focused on the top 30 Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
Citizens JMP noted that Safehold offers a durable income stream with recurring escalators of 2% per annum and inflation lookbacks every 10 years, plus capital appreciation potential for improvements on the land that revert to Safehold at the conclusion of ground leases.
The firm believes Safehold’s share price has been "overly penalized from macro issues (higher interest rates)" despite these strengths and Safehold’s unique position as the sole public ground-lease focused Real Estate Investment Trust.
