Armada Hoffler Properties: Catching A Falling Knife Or Diamond? I'm Still Long
Since my first article on Armada Hoffler Properties back in mid-2024, the total return level has landed at negative ~20%. The key driver for this performance has been the equity dilution event. Now, the business trades at an even lower multiple and has a more de-risked balance sheet.

6-9% Yields: 3 High-Conviction Dividend Growth Strong Buys
The market is currently giving investors the chance to buy high-quality dividend growth stocks at deep discounts and high yields. We are taking advantage of these opportunities. I share three of them in this article.
Golden Buying Opportunity: Up To 9% Yields For Pennies On The Dollar
Warren Buffett once offered some sage wisdom on the best time to buy stocks and how to buy them. We discuss a sector that looks particularly compelling right now. We share three blue-chip ideas that offer high-yields, are growing their dividends, and are trading for pennies on the dollar.
The End Of An Era
U.S. equity and bond markets posted their best week since the November election, as benchmark interest rates tumbled after inflation data showed surprisingly muted pressures in December. Closing the books on the Biden era, the Trump Administration assumes the reins next week of a U.S. economy that has seemingly "held it together" through a myriad of headwinds. The worst four years of inflation and the first decline in "real" consumer incomes since the late 1970s paradoxically coincided with a robust period of job growth and historically low unemployment.
Armada Hoffler: I'm Expanding My Position Before The Market Catches On
Armada Hoffler focuses on A-class multifamily, office, and retail assets, primarily in the Greater Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, enhancing returns through development and construction. Deleveraging efforts combined with a strong portfolio should make AHH even more resilient going into the future. With new assets coming online as we speak and shares trading at depressed levels, you get paid a well-covered 8.5% dividend yield while you wait for a mean reversion.

REITs have lagged the broader market in recent months. This has created some very attractive opportunities. I share three REITs that I particularly like right now.
Armada Hoffler: Resilient 7.4% Yield With Upside Potential
Armada Hoffler Properties offers a diversified, high-quality portfolio with strong occupancy rates and resilient performance, despite market bearishness and office sector headwinds. Recent developments, including the Southern Post property and T. Rowe Price headquarters, position AHH for future growth, supported by robust leasing spreads and FFO growth. With a 7.4% dividend yield, well-covered payout, and discounted valuation at 8.8x forward P/FFO, AHH presents significant income and upside potential.
A Barbell Approach To REITs
Retirees can protect themselves against secular market declines in stock market pricing by focusing on REITs that pay secure dividends and can grow them faster than inflation. A “Go-Fishing” REIT portfolio aims for secure, inflation-beating dividends, allowing investors to check their investments annually while maintaining financial stability. My barbell REIT portfolio combines secure Go-Fishing REITs with high-upside REITs, some of which carry higher risk.
Indebtedness Warrants A Hold For Armada Hoffler
Armada Hoffler offers a 7% dividend yield, but is troubled by near-term debt maturities and uncertain dividend growth prospects. Despite revenue and FFO growth, AHH's dividends haven't fully recovered post-pandemic, as management prioritized reinvestment over immediate dividend restoration. Overall, the commercial real estate portfolio is historically sound, and the company smartly leverages its expertise to earn additional revenues.
