Credit Rating For The Unrated REITs (Part 1): Saul Centers, Inc.
Saul Centers, Inc.'s preferred shares offer attractive yields (7.46% and 7.07%) but lack credit ratings from major agencies. Our credit analysis, using Moody's methodology, results in a weak adjusted credit score of B1 for Saul Centers. Given the weak credit profile, I do not recommend buying BFS preferreds; better-yielding, lower-risk alternatives exist in the market.

The Inflation That Wasn't
US equity markets retreated from the cusp of record-highs this week as encouraging inflation data showing surprisingly muted tariff-related inflation was spoiled by a sudden escalation in Middle East tensions. The critical CPI and PPI reports both showed cooler-than-expected inflation in May for a third-straight month, as lower oil prices and moderating shelter costs more than offset the tariff uplift. Upsetting the key disinflationary offset that has kept overall inflation suppressed in recent months, the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel sent global oil prices surging to four-month highs.

Disparate Property Supply In Tampa Creates Selective Opportunity
Tampa's strong job and population growth make it a prime real estate location, but supply and demand dynamics are crucial for investment decisions. The high housing supply in Tampa has led to a temporary downturn in home prices, while limited retail space has driven up retail rents. Other property sectors have limited supply and much stronger outlooks within Tampa.

Saul Centers: Mixed Q4 And DC Headwinds Limit Upside
Saul Centers has underperformed over the past decade, with shares losing 35% and facing headwinds from federal government downsizing in the DC/Baltimore area. The company's Q4 results were impacted by project accounting, with a significant increase in costs due to the completion of Twinbrook Quarter Phase 1. High occupancy rates are offset by cost inflation and office space weakness, limiting the potential for same property growth and dividend increases.
