Buying DEI in quantity now.
Douglas Emmett, Inc. (DEI) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT), and one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties located in the premier coastal submarkets of Los Angeles and Honolulu. Douglas Emmett focuses on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.
I assume their land and/or land&properties are irreplaceable. Which sounds good, but I'm not sure what it means, if these assets can still do ok going forward.
DEI cut the dividend in 2008/9; increases every year since. Yield very large for this company, now at 7%.
Stock is at a multi-year low. Maybe a 10-year low eyeballing it. P/sales is very low (relatively), as would be expected with low price here.
In September, four directors and the ceo bought shares between $18 and 21 ($21.17). Stock is now under $15.50.
It's one thing for me write I'm buying a few shares of something. What-the-heck, might not really impact my portfolio. How cautious do I really want to be? Otoh, when I'm going for a full position, it's much more worrisome for me. Perhaps I've missed something significant with DEI.
