Losses Accelerate Even as Profitability Forecast Improves

Losses have been growing at a steep 69.7% per year over the last five years, a negative trend that remains significant despite management's projection of profitability returning within the next three years. Bulls point to analyst forecasts of a sharp turnaround, with earnings growth of 109.13% per year on the horizon.

This forecasted profit surge is positioned as a lifeline by optimistic investors, who argue it sets Allied up for a strong bounceback not yet reflected in recent loss acceleration. What stands out is the rare combination of worsening current profitability and exceptional medium-term growth projections, fueling debate on the company's ability to execute.

Dividend Sustainability Questioned Amid Financial Strains

Risks highlighted in filings include explicit concerns about the sustainability of Allied's dividend, drawing attention to its overall financial position. What is surprising is that, while some see continued distributions as a sign of stability, critics highlight the underlying losses increasing at more than 69% per year.

Bears argue that unless losses are addressed soon, the company's ability to maintain payouts may come under further pressure. The contrast between loss trajectory and ongoing dividends creates a focal point for cautious investors following the story.

Trading Below DCF Fair Value Yet at a Valuation Premium

Shares trade at CA$14.78, significantly below the DCF fair value of CA$23.06, but remain expensive on a Price-to-Sales basis compared to North American Office REIT peers and industry benchmarks. The prevailing market view notes that, while value investors may be drawn to the CA$8 discount versus modeled fair value, the stock’s premium to peers raises questions about whether the market is factoring in sector headwinds or just pricing in future growth.

This unusual mix of relative undervaluation by one model and premium valuation by multiples gives investors reasons to take a closer look at both the trust’s assets and its sector environment. Investors are forced to weigh if Allied offers hidden value or if risks around urban office demand still tilt the scales against the trust despite its modeled discount.
