Why BXP stock is in focus after the 343 Madison Avenue financing

BXP (BXP) has drawn fresh attention after closing a $1.2b construction loan for its planned 46 story 343 Madison Avenue tower in Midtown Manhattan. This marks a key step in funding this US$2b project.

The financing news comes as BXP shares trade at US$72.97, with recent momentum reflected in a 4.30% 1 day share price return and a 24.82% 90 day share price return. The 1 year total shareholder return sits at 14.74%, while the 5 year total shareholder return shows a decline of 17.47%, suggesting improving recent sentiment after a weaker longer term stretch.

The recent jump in BXP after the 343 Madison Avenue financing has narrowed the gap to external price targets, yet a material intrinsic discount is still flagged. How much of the opportunity might still sit in the valuation work rather than the past move?

Most Popular Narrative: 5.7% Overvalued

On the most followed narrative, BXP screens on a fair value of $69.05 compared with the latest close at $72.97, so the story leans slightly rich on that framework.

BXP's aggressive capital recycling and asset sales strategy (targeting $600 million in non-core dispositions), along with redevelopment and adaptive reuse of assets for mixed-use and multifamily, is expected to unlock higher-yielding income streams, fortify net margins, and provide non-dilutive funding for growth, supporting future FFO and earnings resilience.

Want to see what assumptions sit behind that price tag for BXP? The whole narrative leans on steady revenue expansion, firm margins and a richer future earnings multiple.

Result: Fair Value of $69.05 (OVERVALUED)

However, BXP still faces risks around leasing softness in some key markets and the sizeable funding and execution burden tied to the US$2b 343 Madison project.

Another View on BXP’s Valuation

The popular narrative has BXP screening modestly overvalued on a fair value of $69.05 against a $72.97 share price. The SWS DCF model points a different way. It estimates future cash flow value at $88.43, which is about 17.5% above today’s price and screens as undervalued.
