TTM profit of US$176.2 million relies heavily on non cash items
- Over the trailing 12 months to Q4 2025, SITE Centers reported net income of US$176.2 million on US$122.9 million of revenue and FFO of US$19.4 million, so accounting profit is much higher than cash style FFO.
- Consensus narrative highlights the planned spin off of the Convenience portfolio and over US$951 million of property sales as a way to refocus on higher growth assets. This sits against trailing figures where FFO of US$19.4 million is far below net income of US$176.2 million, suggesting investors may want to check how much of the recent profit story is driven by disposals and other non cash items.
Quarterly FFO swung from US$16.0 million to a loss
- Within FY 2025, FFO moved from US$16.0 million in Q1 to US$6.9 million in Q2, US$3.6 million in Q3 and then to a US$7.2 million loss in Q4, while FFO per share followed the same pattern from US$0.31 to a US$0.14 loss.
- Consensus narrative talks up the Convenience portfolio spin off and over US$200 million of additional assets under contract as a way to support net operating income. Yet the quarterly pattern where FFO falls from US$16.0 million to a loss of US$7.2 million in just three quarters highlights how much execution on acquisitions and dispositions will matter if investors are counting on more stable property cash flows.
Low 1.7x P/E versus DCF fair value of US$0.95
- The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 1.7x at a share price of US$5.60, compared with a DCF fair value of US$0.95 and trailing FFO per share of US$0.37.
- Analysts' consensus view calls out a sharp forecast decline in earnings and revenue over the next three years alongside an analyst price target of US$6.00. The combination of a very low 1.7x P/E, a DCF fair value of US$0.95 and trailing net income of US$176.2 million but FFO of US$19.4 million provides a clear set of numbers to weigh up whether the low multiple reflects risk in the forecasts or a potential mismatch between accounting profit and underlying cash generation.
