BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 42.7/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #3155 out of 7,333 stocks. BDN's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 58/100, BDN shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of -36.3% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 62.7% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of -60.8% (sector avg: 21.9%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
BDN's value score of 61/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include an EV/EBITDA of 17.14x, a P/B ratio of 0.66x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST's investment score of 34/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -3.1% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of -9.3% (sector: 1.3%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST is experiencing notably weak momentum with a score of just 12/100. The stock has underperformed its peers and is trending below major moving averages. Revenue growth stands at -3.1% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.68 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. While deep momentum weakness can occasionally present value opportunities, it often reflects deteriorating fundamentals or structural headwinds that may persist.
BDN's stability score of 34/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.68 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 268.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
The short interest score of 42/100 for BDN suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 268.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. With a $709M market cap (small-cap), BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST offers an attractive dividend yield of 14.7%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST is a small-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #3155 of 7,333 overall (57th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -36.3% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of -2.1% below the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While BDN currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
