How to Calculate Implied Cap Rate for REITs
The Implied Capitalization Rate (Implied Cap Rate) is a fundamental valuation metric used by real estate investors to analyze Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Unlike a private real estate transaction where the price is negotiated directly, a REIT is traded on the stock market. The Implied Cap Rate helps investors understand the yield the market is assigning to the REIT's portfolio of properties based on its current share price.
The Implied Cap Rate Formula
To calculate the implied cap rate, you must first determine the implied value of the REIT's assets (often called the Implied Enterprise Value) and compare it to the Net Operating Income (NOI). The formula is:
Implied Cap Rate = (Net Operating Income / Implied Enterprise Value) × 100
This metric allows investors to compare the valuation of a public REIT against the private market.
Trading at a Discount: If a REIT's implied cap rate is higher than the cap rates for similar properties selling in the private market, the REIT may be undervalued (trading at a discount to Net Asset Value).
Trading at a Premium: If the implied cap rate is lower than private market rates, the REIT shares might be expensive relative to the underlying real estate value.
