Vornado Realty (VNO) collected about 93% of rent due from its tenants, which comprised of 82% of rent due from its retail tenants and 95% from office tenants. The company said “While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants,” due to COVID-19.

On Nov. 3, BMO Capital analyst John Kim reiterated his Buy rating and a price target of $55 (69.2% upside potential). He said “VNO had one of its most active leasing quarters in history dominated by two leases (Facebook and NYU [New York University]). We estimate initial cash rent with Facebook at Farley Place at $109 psf [per square feet].” The analyst added “Despite market conditions, VNO continues to close condo sales at 220 CPS [Central Park South]: $591m in 3Q20 and $939m YTD.”
Currently, the Street is sidelined on the stock. The Hold analyst consensus is based on 3 Holds, 1 Buy and 2 Sells. The average price target of $42 implies upside potential of about 29.2% to current levels. Shares have dropped 51.1% year-to-date.
