Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Revenue fell 16.6% to $59.52 million from a year ago, below the $63.33 million analysts expected. Investors should watch future revenue trends because this shortfall shows the company collected less rent and other income than projected. Confirmed
2. The average analyst rating is buy, with 3 strong buy or buy, 6 hold and no sell ratings. This suggests analysts propose holding or adding shares, but investors should watch whether their views change after results. Proposed
3. The median 12-month price target of $64.00 is about 7.5% above the last close of $59.17. If earnings estimates keep falling, that target could be lowered, which may affect how investors position the stock. Analyst inference
