JBG SMITH: Sell Now, Maybe Buy Later

  • JBG Smith's fundamentals are deteriorating: declining revenues, negative FFO growth, high debt, and unsafe dividend make the outlook bleak. The company's transition from office to multifamily assets is visionary, but current execution is weighed down by weak financials. Dividend yield appears attractive enough but is unsafe, with a high likelihood of further cuts and a payout ratio exceeding 100%.
