This compares with quarterly FFO between US$260.6 million and US$283.9 million, and quarterly FFO per share between US$1.65 and US$1.82 across the periods shown.</li> <li>What stands out for a bullish view is that cash style FFO looks more stable than basic EPS, which ranged from a loss of US$1.44 to a profit of US$1.57 across the last six reported quarters, even though:     <ul> <li>Trailing net income excluding extra items over the last 12 months was US$276.8 million, compared with a loss of US$228.9 million in Q4 FY 2024. This highlights how accounting earnings have moved around far more than FFO.</li> <li>Total revenue on a trailing basis reached US$3.4b, while quarterly revenue sat between US$846.3 million and US$923.4 million in the periods provided. The main story here is how earnings and FFO translate that revenue rather than big swings in the top line.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2>8.2% Net Margin Meets Weak Interest Coverage</h2> <ul> <li>The trailing net profit margin was 8.2% compared with 0.4% a year earlier. That improvement sits next to a flagged risk that interest payments were not well covered by earnings over the same period.</li> <li>Bears often focus on balance sheet pressure, and the data gives them material points to work with while also adding some nuance:     <ul> <li>On one hand, the main risk highlighted is that interest coverage is weak. Even with US$276.8 million of trailing net income excluding extra items, lenders were not well covered by those earnings.</li> <li>On the other hand, earnings over the last year were described as much higher year over year. Critics therefore need to factor in that the latest 8.2% margin is not the same earnings base that produced the earlier 0.4% margin, even if coverage remains a concern.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2>High 36.7x P/E, Yet Below DCF Fair Value</h2> <ul> <li>The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 36.7x compared with 21.8x for the Global Office REITs industry and 28.6x for peers. The current share price of US$64.15 sits below an analyst price target of US$77.80 and a DCF fair value of about US$97.13.</li> <li>For a more optimistic take, some investors point to valuation gaps alongside income and growth forecasts, and the numbers give that argument some backing and some pushback:     <ul> <li>Supportive for bulls, the stock is described as trading about 34% below one fair value estimate and also below the DCF fair value, with a 4.36% dividend yield and earnings forecast to grow about 10% per year, even if that growth rate is below the wider US market forecast of 16.1%.</li> <li>Challenging that same bullish angle, the high 36.7x P/E relative to office REIT peers means part of the current price already reflects higher expectations. Recent earnings also included an US$87.8 million one off gain that flatters the trailing numbers used in some of those valuation checks.</li> </ul> </li> </ul><p> To see how this mix of premium P/E, discounted DCF fair value and dividend income fits into the bigger story, have a look at the full narrative and valuation breakdown. <strong>📊 Read the full BXP Consensus Narrative.</strong></p><h2> Next Steps</h2> <p>Don't just look at this quarter; the real story is in the long-term trend.
