Colonial Properties Trust (NYSE:CLP) Up On Stronger Multifamily Same Property NOI

Colonial Properties Trust (NYSE:CLP) was able to beat estimate in the fourth quarter, getting the win on stronger multifamily same property NOI.

FBR says, "CLP’s reported 4Q10 results beat both ours and consensus estimates for the quarter. Excluding a $0.01 per share charge related to the repurchase of $50 million 7.25% redeemable preferred units, the beat was driven by stronger multifamily same property NOI. The delta to our estimate appears to be driven by higher than expected commercial property revenue and lower G&A expense. The company’s 2011 guidance at the mid-point is in-line with the current FBR estimate. The key take-away is the positive multifamily same store NOI growth for 4Q10, which reflects continued portfolio progress. The results do not change our thesis on the stock. Looking ahead, we expect CLP to make additional progress towards streamlining its portfolio and improving its capital structure. Recovery will likely be slow, however."

FBR Capital reiterates a "Market Perform" rating on Colonial Properties Trust (CLP), which closed at $19.38, up $0.27, or 1.41 percent.

Colonial Properties (NYSE:CLP), Mid-America Apartment Communities (NYSE:MAA), Camden Property (NYSE:CPT) FBR's Top REIT Picks

Taking into account the regional outlook for REITs in 2011, FBR said their favorite picks in the group are Colonial Properties (NYSE:CLP), Mid-America Apartment Communities (NYSE:MAA) and Camden Property (NYSE:CPT).

On the other hand, the weakest outlooks in the group are Equity Residential (NYSE:EQR), AvalonBay Communities (NYSE:AVB), and Associated Estates (NYSE:AEC).

FBR said, "In our MSA Monitor screen, we utilize 3Q10 REIT data and current one-, two- and three-year forward forecasts from a variety of data providers, coupled with our proprietary model, and conclude that Colonial Properties Trust (Market Perform), Mid-America Apartment Communities (Underperform), and Camden Property Trust (Underperform) could have the strongest 12-month-forward regional outlooks. Equity Residential (Underperform), AvalonBay Communities (Outperform), and Associated Estates (Outperform) could have the weakest.

"Following the climb by HME were move-ups for CPT and MAA, unsurprising given the high Texas/Sunbelt exposure. Stocks that declined in the current ranking were ESS and AVB, both falling two spots, followed by single-spot drops by AIV, AEC, and UDR. Remaining unchanged were CLP and EQR."

Colonial Properties closed Friday at $17.96, up $0.39, or 2.22 percent. Mid-America was at $62.87, up $0.99, or 1.60 percent. Camden ended at $52.36, up $0.98, or 1.91 percent.

Equity Residential ended the week at $51.56, up Friday by $0.36, or 0.70 percent. Avalonbay closed at $113.12, up $2.64, or 2.39 percent. Associated Estates closed at $15.37, up $0.09, or 0.59 percent.
