Office REITs with this falling profitability metric are a worrying sign: Barclays Declining cash flows make it harder for lenders to finance propertiesDeclining cash flows at several big office landlords might be the next big worry for embattled office properties.Office landlords largely benefited from long-term tenant leases in place when the pandemic took hold in early 2020, but cash flows lately have begun to erode as more tenants downsize their office space as hybrid work looks to retains a foothold in the market.The gloomy backdrop now includes a more than 10% drop in a key profitability metric for several office property landlords in the past year, stirring “cause for concern,” for the REITs and the broader office market, according to Barclays Research.With first-quarter corporate earnings reports wrapping up, Barclays Researchers found net operating income (NOI) declined at half of 18 public real-estate investment trusts (REITs) focused on office buildings, in the past year, with a more than 10% drop at three landlords.Franklin Street Properties Corp., FSP which has office buildings in Denver, Dallas and Houston, reported the biggest pullback of the bunch with a 12.8% NOI decline. The DC-area focused JBG Smith JBGS and Empire State Realty ESRT , which owns the Empire State Building in New York City, each reported a roughly 11% drop.“These three reported that NOI fell more than 10% over the past year, giving cause for concern, both the for these specific REITs and for the broader office sector,” Lea Overby’s credit research team, wrote in a Wednesday client note.Requests for comment to each REIT weren’t immediately returned.Commercial properties rely on cash flows, often in the form of rent from tenants, to produce income for landlords. Net operating income broadly measures a property’s income, minus repairs and other operating expenses.Declines in profitability make it harder for buildings to obtain financing. The pullback in NOI comes as credit already tightened significantly as interest rates increased at the fastest clip in decades and as many lenders have grown skittish about financing office buildings in big cities that face lost revenue from half-empty properties.U.S. stocks were mostly lower on Wednesday, after a gauge of U.S. consumer price inflation dipped below 5% for the first time in two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA was off about 200 points, or 0.6%, while the S&P 500 index SPX was fractionally lower at about 4,117, according to FactSet.
UK ditches post-Brexit plan to scrap thousands of EU laws by year’s endLONDON (AP) — Britain’s bonfire of European Union laws has been reduced to embers.The U.K. government on Wednesday scrapped a plan to remove all remaining EU laws, about 4,000 in all, from British statute books by the end of this year — a post-Brexit goal that critics said was rash and unachievable.Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch said in a written statement that the government would instead draw up a list of about 600 specific laws that would be revoked. Badenoch acknowledged there were “risks of legal uncertainty” if all EU laws were ditched by the end of the year.(...)
Inflation Ticks Higher in April as Rents Keep RisingIs this the new normal, and will Joe Biden pay a political price for it?(...) Even though those numbers are a far cry from the 9.1 percent annual rate posted as recently as last June, it's a worrying sign that inflation seems to have settled into a range that's significantly higher than it had been for decades. The average inflation rate between 1990 and 2020, for example, was about 2.3 percent.As it was in March, rental prices are the primary driver of April's price increases. Overall, the Labor Department's index for "shelter" prices jumped by 0.4 percent in April. But that category includes a number of factors other than rent, including things like hotel room rates, the prices of which actually declined slightly during April. On their own, rental prices climbed by 0.6 percent during the month, according to the department's report.The good news for consumers is that food and energy prices, which largely drove last year's spike in overall inflation, have returned to more normal territory. Food prices were flat in April and energy prices are down significantly over the past 12 months despite a 0.6 percent increase during April.Until rental prices fall, however, overall inflation is likely to remain stubbornly high. That's because rent and "owners' equivalent rent"—another portion of the "shelter" index, measuring the amount that a homeowner could charge if he or she chose to rent out their property—account for over 32 percent of the overall inflation index.There's a political dimension to inflation, of course, which will only come into clearer focus as the 2024 presidential election gets closer. President Joe Biden's poll numbers continue to sag despite the announcement that he will seek a second term, perhaps in no small part because many voters see him as responsible for the higher prices they've been forced to pay for nearly everything.Overall, prices have increased by 15 percent since Biden took office. That's outpacing every president since Jimmy Carter, according to the "Presidential Inflation Rate" tracker developed by the Winston Group, a conservative political advisory firm.Of course, Democrats avoided a disastrous midterm election despite last year's rampant inflation. Still, Biden's policies have contributed to higher prices and stubbornly high inflation will be a weight around his neck as he runs for a second term—which is only fair since the rest of us have to deal with higher prices in more immediate, direct ways.
Buying our first home in 1992 was easy compared with what young people face todayI remember exactly what I told my wife after the offer we made on our first house was accepted in 1992.“I feel like someone is standing on my chest,” I said. That’s how the weight of responsibility for making mortgage payments and looking after a property felt at that pivotal moment. And then I quickly got over it.All generations have their obstacles when it comes to buying a first home. But I have no trouble saying that for my wife and I, affording a house in Toronto was easy compared with what young people today experience. As first-time homeowners, we carried two car loans, started a family, saved for retirement and quickly added central air and a bunch of IKEA furniture to our house. All without undue financial stress.This look back is brought to you in the hope that it sparks some consideration of what young people today are up against in the housing market. Whatever we’ve done as a country to fix this problem, it isn’t enough.(...)
Airbnb's gloomy forecast weighs on hotel, airline stocksNEW YORK, May 10 (Reuters) - A gloomy forecast from vacation rental firm Airbnb (ABNB.O) weighed on travel-related stocks on Wednesday as an expected slowdown in bookings signaled an impending slump in travel demand with consumers seeking cheaper accommodation amid inflation and recession fears.Airbnb, which reported a 20% rise in quarterly revenue on Wednesday, said it anticipated fewer bookings and lower average daily rates mostly from price-sensitive travelers in the United States, its largest market. The company's shares sank by more than 10% after the announcement and with multiple analysts cutting their price target for the stock.Airbnb's forecast will heighten caution in the travel sector, which encompasses hotels, airlines, and vacation rental firms, according to an investor note by JPMorgan analysts, led by Doug Anmuth."We also believe Airbnb's commentary will result in increased caution in the travel space, but more specifically around vacation and the U.S.," the analysts said.The S&P 1500 Airlines index (.SPCOMALI) was down about 3% on Wednesday, with Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N), American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O), and Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N) among the biggest losers.Shares of hotel chains were also trading lower. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (HLT.N) fell 3.6%, Wynn Resorts (WYNN.O) lost 1.1%, and Hyatt Hotels (H.N) shed nearly 4%.Last month, Delta Airlines, the largest U.S. airline by revenue and market value, offered an upbeat outlook for summer travel demand that it expects will result in higher-than-expected profit for the quarter through June.But airlines are bracing up for higher operating costs and lower revenue as shifting travel patterns in a post-pandemic world, forces carriers to readjust schedules, cut flights, revamp networks and cram planes with as many passengers as possible, analysts and airline executives said.
Cita de: saturno en Mayo 10, 2023, 14:19:05 pmLa vivienda regulada (capitalista, que realmente tuvo que inventarla para la revolucion industrial) significa que pagas la renta al Estado, o a empresas con convenio,Se inventó el Estado para pagar la renta de alquiler, pero la pijada del papel-ladrillo mantuvo viva la clase de recaudadores de impuestos feudales,Saturno: totalmente de acuerdo con lo que dices.Sin embargo, veo un peligro en ese proceso.Una vez haces público el actual impuesto privado, tienes dos opciones:• Perdonarlo, es decir, no cobrarlo, haciendo que la vivienda regulada tenga un precio por debajo del hipotético precio que tendría en el mercado "libre".• O cobrarlo vía impuestos de la vivienda "libre" y utilizarlo para llenar las arcas públicas.Entiendo que lo que sugieres es que se va a llegar a una situación mixta, con parte de la vivienda regulada y parte "libre".Para que ese esquema libere al Trabajo & Empresa del yugo del impuesto privado, o bien la vivienda regulada tiene que acabar siendo un porcentaje alto del total, o bien lo que se recaude de la vivienda libre se debe compensar con una bajada del IRPF. Si tal bajada del IRPF no se diera... solamente se estaría sustituyendo el gasto privado de los rentistas por gasto público.Que sí, que siempre es mejor que ese gasto sea público que no que lo hagan los rentistas en su propio beneficio, pero ¿realmente hace falta más gasto público? ¿Cuál es la proporción óptima entre gasto público y privado? ¿No hemos sobrepasado ya el punto óptimo?Dependiendo de cómo se reparta el trozo de bisonte arrebatado a los rentistas, los resultados para la economía y la vida de las personas pueden ser muy distintos.Enviado desde mi Aquaris X mediante Tapatalk
