For my follow-up on Clipper Realty, a NYC-based multi-family REIT, I'm actually downgrading to a sell from my hold last winter, agreeing with today's bearish consensus. This REIT has a limited geographic diversification beyond a handful of NYC properties, operates with negative equity, and a high AFFO dividend payout ratio (above 75%). A new government recently elected in NYC but yet to be sworn in points to what impact new policies will have on demand and supply in NYC housing.
Clipper Realty Inc. ( CLPR ) Q3 2025 Earnings Call November 13, 2025 5:00 PM EST Company Participants Lawrence Sava David Bistricer - Co-Chairman & CEO Jacob Bistricer - Chief Operating Officer Lawrence Kreider - CFO & Secretary Presentation Operator Good day, and welcome to the Clipper Realty Q3 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Lawrence Sava.
Clipper Realty Inc. (CLPR) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.13 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.1 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.18 per share a year ago.
Interest rates are expected to be cut on September 17th. This is a huge catalyst for the REIT sector. I present 2 REITs that could enjoy significant upside potential.
Clipper Realty is paying out a $0.095 per share quarterly dividend for a 9.5% dividend yield from a portfolio of New York multifamily properties. The 9.5% dividend yield is secure, supported by adjusted funds from operations of $0.20 generated during the recent second quarter. A possible NYC-wide rent freeze and the vacate at 250 Livingston present near-term risks. The extent of coverage and the stabilization of Prospect House provide a hedge.

Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE:CLPR ) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call August 7, 2025 5:30 PM ET Company Participants Jacob Joseph Bistricer - Chief Operating Officer Lawrence E. Kreider - CFO & Secretary Lawrence Sava - Corporate Participant Operator Good day, and welcome to the Clipper Realty Q2 Earnings Conference Call.
Clipper Realty Inc. (CLPR) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.2 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.15 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.17 per share a year ago.
Clipper Realty trades at a depressed valuation, offering an 9% yield and significant upside if AFFO growth continues and 250 Livingston is resolved. AFFO is growing rapidly due to high occupancy and rental growth, but the loss of 250 Livingston's tenant poses a material risk to future cash flow. Debt is high but manageable, with near-term refinancing likely to lower interest costs; long-term maturities reduce immediate risk.

Clipper Realty Inc. trades at its lowest valuation ever despite record fiscal 2025 first-quarter revenue, strong rental demand, and positive leasing spreads in a tight NYC market. The upcoming lease-up of 953 Dean Street and renewal at 141 Livingston offset the risk from the anchor tenant exit at 250 Livingston. Debt remains a key risk, but recent asset sales, new financing, and strong free cash flow provide liquidity and dividend coverage.
Clipper Realty Inc. has appreciated over the past year, despite substantial volatility and regulatory challenges in the NYC residential market. Q1 results were strong with $0.19 FFO, beating estimates, and 10% revenue growth, but significant risks remain due to rent-regulated exposure and potential leasing issues. Clipper's single-property loan structure mitigates creditor disputes, but deteriorating lender relationships and refinancing challenges pose significant risks, particularly for rent-controlled properties.
