John Kim has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors demonstrating promising growth and performance for Vornado Realty. The company experienced a significant beat in its Core Funds From Operations per share during the fourth quarter of 2024, although this was partly influenced by one-time items. Nevertheless, Vornado’s office leasing activities have shown strong acceleration, highlighted by positive cash spreads, and there is a notable improvement in occupancy rates within its New York City offices and THE MART.
Additionally, the development yield for the PENN 2 project has increased to 10.5%, indicating a positive outlook for future returns. The company’s leadership, under Chairman and CEO Steve Roth, is ambitiously aiming for a high occupancy target of 96-97% in the near term, reflecting confidence in the company’s strategic direction. Despite some negative aspects, such as a decline in same-store net operating income and occupancy challenges at 555 California, the overall performance and strategic initiatives position Vornado Realty favorably in the market.
