Saul Centers: Mixed Q4 And DC Headwinds Limit Upside
Saul Centers has underperformed over the past decade, with shares losing 35% and facing headwinds from federal government downsizing in the DC/Baltimore area. The company's Q4 results were impacted by project accounting, with a significant increase in costs due to the completion of Twinbrook Quarter Phase 1. High occupancy rates are offset by cost inflation and office space weakness, limiting the potential for same property growth and dividend increases.
