For understanding the business, not timing a buy: nothing on our pages has picked stocks that beat the S&P 500. Why
Estimate is sensitive to cash-flow normalization, leverage and industry risk.
More against than for ●●●●●

What we have tested leans negative. To like it anyway you need a reason our checks do not capture.

What each rating means, in numbers

Business quality — Very weak. Passes 1 of the 7 health checks we can measure — things like making a profit, turning it into cash, and not piling on debt. Across 131,000 company-quarters the weakest scorers went on to fail at 5.4% against 1.4% for the strongest, in every era and all twelve sectors.

What "tested" means here, and why there is no score out of 100

Tested means the read was measured against what actually happened afterwards, on a history that keeps the companies that were later delisted, using only figures that had been filed on the day they are used. Survival was ranked on companies that really did fail. What an owner keeps was tested across the universe from 2011 to 2025.

The full record of everything we have tested is on the research pages.

Which benchmark. Over the period we tested, the median listed company returned +5.8% a year while the S&P 500 returned about +13.9% — the index is weighted by size and was carried by a handful of enormous winners. So "beats the index" and "beats the other companies you could have bought" are different questions. Where a read says it picks better companies, it means the second one. None of these gets you an index fund's return, and we would rather say that than imply otherwise.

The quality read is the strongest thing we have tested: 131,000 company-quarters across 5,300 companies, where the weakest scorers went on to fail at 5.4% against 1.4% for the strongest, holding in every era and all twelve sectors. It still says less likely to break, not likely to beat the market — every band in that study lost to the index at the median, because the median listed company does.

Each read is shown on its own rather than merged into a single score, so you can see which part is strong and which is weak instead of taking an average on trust.

How we get our growth number, and how often it has been right

How often it has been right: on 3,782 filings, 1,129 companies, 2014-2021, scored on the next five years of revenue, our estimate missed actual growth by a median 4.3 points a year; the growth implied by the price missed by 8.8. Ours was the closer of the two 69% of the time.

For companies like this one (revenue growing 10% to 20% a year over the past five years): our estimate missed by a median 4.4 points a year and the price's implied rate by 8.8; ours was closer 68% of the time. The chance above uses this group's own record.

Do fast growers break it? No. Tested by how fast companies had been growing, we did not underestimate fast growers (if anything slightly the reverse), and leaning more on their own past made the estimate worse, not better: their growth fades faster than it looks.

Who has been closer, by time window (same two numbers, scored on what revenue actually did):

Is the chance above honest? We built these chances on 2014–2018 and checked them on 2019–2021: when they said about 15%, it happened 16% of the time; about 25%, 25%; about 50%, 50%.

📍 Where to start on this page, and what to look at first

How to read OPI (pre-profit growth)

This company is reinvesting instead of generating profit, so a standard DCF cannot price it. The useful question is whether the growth the market is paying for is achievable — and whether the company can fund itself until then.

Where to start — the sections that matter most for this stock
  1. 1 Reverse-DCF — the growth the price demands ↓
    It shows exactly how fast the business must grow to justify today's price. Compare that to what comparable companies have actually achieved.
  2. 2 Cash runway ↓
    Can it reach profitability before it has to raise money and dilute shareholders?
  3. 3 Interactive calculator ↓
    Set your own growth + margin assumptions and see what the business would be worth if you are right.
Or — what are you trying to decide?
A note on process: fear-driven decisions — including fear of missing out — tend to be the expensive ones. A stock up 10% a day for three days is excitement, not evidence. Whichever reader you are, the data below is there to be checked before anything is decided.
🚀
"It's surging — should I chase it?"
The momentum / FOMO trade. Before you chase, see whether the people who know it best are quietly selling into the rally.
⚖️
"Is it worth what it costs?"
The valuation trade. Our DCF, the growth the price implies, and a calculator you drive yourself.
🏷️
"Is it a cheap bargain?"
The deep-value trade. How far below assets and our value it trades — and whether it's cheap for a reason.

Is Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) overvalued?

What return would OPI pay as a bond?

Not measurable here. REITs: the owner-earnings analogue is AFFO, which we do not yet ingest from the earnings supplement. Coming with the REIT module. See the cross-company ranking →

ⓘ Why does OPI trade at $12.84?

Office Properties Income Trust has 22.0 million shares outstanding (the latest count on file; the year-by-year checks below use each fiscal year's own count). At $12.84 per share, the market values all outstanding OPI equity at $282 million. That's market capitalization, not enterprise value — enterprise value also accounts for debt and cash — and it matters here because OPI carries substantial debt.

What growth must the market believe? ?Reverse DCF — Instead of asking "what is this stock worth?", asks "what growth rate is the current market price already assuming?"
Why it matters: It crystallizes the bull thesis as a single number you can argue with. If the market expects 40% growth for 10 years and you do not believe that, the stock is overvalued.
Reference: 10–15% = sustainable for strong companies · 20–25% = exceptional · 30%+ = historically very rare

Traditional DCF asks "what is this stock worth?" Reverse DCF flips it: it treats today's price as correct and solves for the growth rate that justifies it. In plain terms — if our model is right about everything else, the company's cash flow would have to grow (or shrink) by this much every year for the next 5 years for today's price to make sense. If that required growth looks unrealistic, the price is stretched; if it looks easy to beat, the price may be cheap.

To justify today's $12.84 price, OPI's free cash flow?Free Cash Flow (FCF) — Operating cash flow minus capital spending: cash left after a company covers operating costs, taxes and interest and reinvests in the business — but BEFORE repaying debt principal or paying dividends. The cash actually available to investors.
Why it matters: A company can show big profits on paper while burning through cash. FCF is what actually fills the bank account.
Reference: Healthy mature businesses convert 8–15% of revenue into FCF · Growth companies often negative

must grow at:
-13.5%
5-year FCF growth, then fading implied by today's price
The Quick Answers below give -10.6% for the same five years. That figure weights three scenarios and ends on an exit multiple; this one solves a single path ending on a perpetuity. Same question, same horizon, slightly different machinery — both at today's live price.
▾ Exactly how this 5-year figure is computed
Starting FCF/share: $2.80 (projected from revenue × terminal margin)
Forecast length: 5 years at the solved rate, then a linear fade to terminal growth over years 6-10 — the same shape the DCF above uses
Terminal growth after the fade: 3.0%
Discount rate: 12.5% (the rate the model used)
Price used: $12.84 — the live price shown on this page (not frozen)
Method: solve for the constant annual growth rate that makes the discounted 10-year FCF stream + terminal value equal today's price.
Priced for decline

The market is pricing in shrinking cash flow — often a sign of undervaluation, and sometimes of a dying business. Check leverage, the cash-flow trend and the health screens below to tell those apart.

For reference: The market is pricing in a material multi-year contraction in cash flow (≈13.5%/yr) — a significant decline, not a flat business.

The market is pricing in a material multi-year contraction in cash flow (≈13.5%/yr). That points to one of two things: the business is genuinely in decline (so a low price is fair), or the market is overreacting (a bargain). The way to tell them apart is the financial-health trend: check leverage, the cash-flow trend and the measurable Piotroski checks below. Strong and improving health behind a "decline" price often signals opportunity; weak and deteriorating health usually means the market is right.
▾ How we computed this · Reality check thresholds · Assumptions
Inputs:
  • Starting FCF/share: $2.80 (projected from revenue × terminal margin)
  • Discount Rate?Discount Rate — The annual return you demand for taking single-stock risk instead of buying a safe Treasury or index fund.
    Why it matters: Higher discount rate = stricter valuation (a stock has to produce more cash to be worth holding). Lower = more generous.
    Reference: 8–12% is standard · 9–10% matches S&P 500 historical return · Below 7% is illogical for single-stock risk
    Full explanation →
    : 12.5% — standard 8-12%; 9-10% matches S&P 500 historical return
  • Terminal Growth Rate?Terminal Growth Rate — The growth rate we assume the company holds forever, after the explicit 10-year forecast period ends.
    Why it matters: It anchors the long-tail value. Cannot mathematically exceed long-term GDP growth or the company eventually becomes larger than the global economy.
    Reference: 2–3% (matches long-term US GDP growth) · Above 4% is mathematically problematic
    Full explanation →
    : 3.0% — matches long-term GDP growth
  • Forecast horizon: 10 years explicit + terminal perpetuity
Reality-check scale:
≤ 0%Priced for decline — likely undervalued OR dying business
5-12%Reasonable; sustainable for quality businesses
12-18%Demanding — strong execution required
18-25%Exceptional — few companies sustain for a decade
25-35%Heroic — historically very rare
35%+Borderline impossible at scale

Sustaining 30%+ cash-flow growth for a full decade at scale is exceedingly rare — the bar is brutally high.

Price against our valuation methods
Methods disagree
●●●●●
3 methods compared
What this rating means

What the rating says — Methods disagree. Methods disagree: the price is BELOW 2 of 3 method ranges (If FCF grew -5%/yr → 21%/yr (flat 10-yr DCF sweep; model assumes 15.0%), Our model's scenarios (conservative → optimistic; ◆ base, ● weighted 40/35/25)), while remaining inside the very wide Priced like 8 similar companies (their EV / Sales, p25→p75) band. That makes the read assumption-sensitive, not "fairly valued" — the verdict depends on which lens you trust.

What it does not say — Not a forecast. This shows where today's price sits against several different ways of valuing the business. Where the methods disagree, the spread itself is the useful part - it tells you how much the answer depends on which one you trust.

For this kind of company, trust Earnings yield (EBIT / EV) first. We tested every method inside this business type: the cheapest fifth on Earnings yield (EBIT / EV) went on to beat the typical company of the same type by 5.7 points over the following year, holding in every period we tested, and clear of the next best (EV / EBIT, 4.0 points). Pairing it with Operating cash flow yield did better still, at 8.5 points. That is against other companies of this type — not against an index fund.

Football field: where does the price sit?

Different valuation methods produce different fair-value ranges depending on assumptions. Plotting them together lets you see at a glance whether the current price is reasonable across approaches, or only one specific lens.

Industry multiples sourced from: industry: Real Estate. See the Peer Basket section below for the peer comparison and its limited-comparables caveat.

How does OPI stack up against its closest peers?

We take the 8 same- or closely-related-industry companies closest in size to OPI and check what investors are paying for each dollar of their revenue (or profits). If OPI is much more expensive on the same yardstick, that's a red flag — unless you have a specific reason it deserves a premium. For a leveraged business, EV/EBIT and FCF yield (both in the table) are usually more reliable than EV/Sales, because revenue multiples ignore differences in margins and debt.

▾ What's "EV / Sales" in plain English?

EV (Enterprise Value) = market cap + total debt − cash. It's "what you'd pay to buy the entire company outright" — you pay the market cap to shareholders and take over their debt, but you keep their cash. EV is fairer than market cap alone because it includes the debt the new owner inherits.

EV / Sales = EV ÷ annual revenue. So "2.5×" means investors pay $2.50 of enterprise value per $1 of yearly sales. Higher = market is paying more per dollar of sales (usually because they expect future growth or fat margins).

p25 / median / p75 are the 25th, 50th (middle), and 75th percentile of the peers' multiples. Half the peers fall between p25 and p75. The median (p50) is the typical peer — that's the benchmark we compare to.

What peers trade at (p25 / median / p75)
EV / Sales?EV / Sales — For every $1 of yearly revenue, this is how many dollars investors pay to own the whole business (including debt).
Why it matters: Works for pre-profit growth companies where P/E and FCF don't apply. The most apples-to-apples cross-company multiple because it ignores accounting choices.

If OPI traded at the typical (median) peer's EV/Sales multiple, the share price would be about $70.23.
Plain English: the stock currently trades at $12.84. That's 81.7% LESS than peer multiples imply — the stock looks cheap vs peers. Either an opportunity, or the market sees something wrong with this name that doesn't apply to peers.

⚠️ Important caveat: peer multiples only work if the peers are genuinely comparable. Always check the peer list below — if the auto-picker grabbed micro-caps or unrelated businesses, the comparison is noise. A medical-device giant priced against tiny biotech startups won't produce a useful signal.

Full explanation →
n/a
Not reliably computable

We can't produce a trustworthy Altman Z here: retained earnings weren't separately reported in our data, so a core input would have to be fabricated. Rather than show a categorical "distress" verdict from an invented number, we mark it unavailable. Judge financial health from the leverage, cash position, and the measurable Piotroski checks instead.

Piotroski-style checks (partial — not a standard F-score)
1 passed · 6 failed · 2 n/a
Partial result, not a standard F-score: 1 of 7 measurable checks passed. 2 of the 9 standard checks couldn't be measured, so this is scored out of 7, not 9 — it isn't comparable to a published F-score.
▾ The checks — what passed, what didn't (and what we couldn't measure)
  • ✗ Positive net income
    Net income -$272.4M in FY2025.
    Why this matters: Does the company actually earn a profit? Sustained losses eventually force it to raise money — diluting you — or take on debt.
  • ✗ Positive operating cash flow
    Operating cash flow -$6.6M (was $67.2M the prior year).
    Why this matters: Profit can be an accounting figure; cash from running the business is harder to fake. Negative operating cash flow means the core business consumes cash and must be funded externally.
  • ✓ Cash flow backs up reported profit
    Operating cash flow -$6.6M vs net income -$272.4M.
  • ✗ Return on assets improving
    Return on assets -7.8% vs -3.6% a year ago.
    Why this matters: Is the company squeezing more profit out of each dollar of assets than last year? Rising = getting more efficient; falling = the opposite.
  • ✗ Debt load (vs assets)
    Long-term debt is 69.0% of assets vs 66.3% a year ago ($2,408.6M of $3,488.6M assets).
    Why this matters: Rising debt relative to assets means more risk and more cash going to interest instead of shareholders. Falling debt is a sign of strengthening.
  • · Short-term liquidity (current ratio) (n/a — data not reported; not scored)
  • ✗ Share count (dilution)
    Share count rose 38.8% (51.8M → 71.9M, average shares for the year, fiscal 2024 → 2025).
    Why this matters: Issuing lots of new shares splits the pie into more pieces, shrinking your slice. Stable or falling share count protects existing owners.
  • · Gross margin improving (n/a — data not reported; not scored)
  • ✗ Sales per asset (asset turnover)
    Asset turnover 0.13x vs 0.13x a year ago.
    Why this matters: Asset turnover measures how much revenue each dollar of assets generates. Rising = more productive use of the asset base.

Missing data is never counted as a pass or a fail — it's shown as n/a and excluded from the denominator. Each check compares the company against its own prior year.

Cash Runway
4.5 yrs
COMFORTABLE — 2+ years at the current burn

Plain English: the company holds about $29M in cash and is burning roughly $7M/year in operations. At that pace, the cash lasts 4.5 yrs before it must raise capital (diluting shareholders), take on debt, or cut spending.

Assumes constant burn and ignores financing/asset sales. For pre-profit biotech and growth companies, this matters more than a DCF — a great drug pipeline is worthless if they run out of money before approval.

⛔ Potential value trap

This stock looks cheap by our DCF (~50% below intrinsic value) but the financial health scores show structural weakness. Many cheap stocks are cheap because the market correctly sees what's coming. Be very skeptical of a "deep value" thesis here without an explicit catalyst.

⚙ Advanced — tinker with every input (beta, growth, rate path, margin → full intrinsic value)
Where the discount rate comes from — discount rate = risk-free + beta × equity-risk-premium
What you'd earn risk-free from government bonds — the floor under every other rate. Slide it down to model the market expecting rate cuts (value rises); up for higher-for-longer.
The extra yearly return investors demand for owning stocks instead of safe bonds — the price of risk. History runs ~4.5–6.5%; we default to 5.5% (slightly conservative). It's an estimate, not a law — lower it if you think equities are less risky than that.
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of a nominal return: a 9% gain at 3% inflation is about 6% in real terms. The intrinsic value above is already in today's dollars (a nominal DCF carries inflation in both the growth and the discount rate), so this switch does not change the value — it restates the return in real terms.
Higher beta → higher discount rate (sets the rate above). 1.0 = moves with the market.

When cash flow cannot be used directly, the model works from revenue: this is the % of revenue that ends up as free cash flow once the business is mature. (Our published value uses the sector norm.)

    ); equivalently the intrinsic value is about 64% ABOVE the price. The market likely discounts OPI due to its negative net income and operating cash flow in the latest fiscal year, coupled with a low franchise/durability score of 0/5. The market may be assigning value to potential future asset sales or strategic repositioning of its office properties, which is not in the model. The biggest risk to our model's base assumptions is that operating cash flow continues to decline from its current negative level of -$6.6 million, rather than growing at the modeled rate.

    Anatomy of a share

    What you're buying per share. Bars are at the same scale so you can see the relative size of revenue, costs, cash flow, and debt — not just read them in a table.

    OPI Office Properties Income Trust stock anatomy showing per-share revenue, operating expenses, free cash flow, and debt
    −61.5%
    loss
    Where each $1 of revenue goes
    For every $1 of revenue, OPI currently loses 61.5¢ — costs exceed sales. A money-losing business can still be a good investment if losses are shrinking toward profitability; check the trend, not just the snapshot.
    Net margin = net income ÷ revenue (most recent fiscal year).
    Plain English: each share (at $12.84) represents $20.16 of revenue per share per year, $12.41 lost per share per year, and $0.30 of cash burned per current share (negative owner-earnings free cash flow) from the latest fiscal year. Each share carries $109.71 of total debt (interest-bearing borrowings, current + long-term — $2.41B in all). That is about 854% of the share price. The DCF does not start from that single year — it instead starts from a projected from revenue × terminal margin of $2.80 per share to capture a full cycle.
    What's free cash flow / what do these mean?

    Revenue per share — how much the business earns from customers, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Top of the income statement.

    Earnings per share — profit left after operating costs, interest, and taxes, per share. Two versions appear on this page and are not interchangeable: GAAP diluted EPS uses the company's weighted-average diluted share count during the reporting period (this is the "earnings" in "price-to-earnings"); net income per current share divides annual net income by today's share count. They differ whenever the share count has changed.

    Owner-earnings free cash flow per share — the cash the business produces for shareholders. Savng's owner-earnings FCF subtracts capital expenditures and stock-based compensation from operating cash flow (SBC is a real cost to shareholders even though no cash leaves the company). This is deliberately more conservative than "standard" FCF, which subtracts only capital expenditures — so our figure is lower than the headline FCF you'll see elsewhere. FCF funds dividends, buybacks, debt repayment, and acquisitions; a company can report positive earnings yet negative FCF.

    Debt per share — total interest-bearing borrowings divided by shares. High debt-per-share next to thin FCF-per-share is a fragility signal.

    What you actually need to decide

    Every stock price is a disagreement. Here's the single thing that must go right for the bulls, the single thing that breaks the thesis, and the concrete signposts to watch so you can update your view as real results arrive.

    🐂 The Bull Case
    For the bull case, OPI's underlying cash flow must stabilize and grow around the modeled business rate of +15.0%, while the company successfully manages its $2.4 billion debt load and improves its profitability. A sustained return to positive operating cash flow would be critical.
    🐻 The Bear Case
    The biggest operating risk is that the company's net income and operating cash flow continue to decline from their current negative levels, leading to further erosion of its asset base and increased financial strain. The market is already pricing in a material multi-year contraction in per-share cash flow.
    📌 Signposts to watch — update your view as these print
    • Return to positive operating cash flow in upcoming quarters
    • Improvements in net income profitability
    • Successful debt reduction beyond the recent nominal fall from $2578M to $2.4 billion

    The trend, in plain numbers (FY2024 → FY2025, latest reported)

    Straight from the financial statements — no model, no opinion. For a small or unprofitable company, the direction of these numbers usually tells you more than any single valuation.

    ⚠ Worsening
    • Revenue fell 11.8%, from $502.0M to $442.6M.
    • Free cash flow turned negative at -$6.6M, from $67.2M the year before.
    • Still unprofitable at -$272.4M — loss widening from -$136.1M the year before.

    Nothing was clearly improving year-over-year.

    What They Make

    Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) owns and leases office properties, primarily to single tenants and government entities. The company generates revenue from rental income paid by its tenants for the use of these properties.

Specifically, the company reported negative net income and negative operating cash flow of -$6.6 million in the latest fiscal year, indicating operational difficulties. Separately, the market's pricing is consistent with an implied material multi-year contraction in per-share cash flow, reflecting concerns about its profitability and future prospects.

    OPI's capital allocation is not explicitly detailed in terms of dividends or buybacks from the provided data. The company's operations are currently characterized by negative free cash flow?Free Cash Flow (FCF) — Operating cash flow minus capital spending: cash left after a company covers operating costs, taxes and interest and reinvests in the business — but BEFORE repaying debt principal or paying dividends. The cash actually available to investors.
    Why it matters: A company can show big profits on paper while burning through cash. FCF is what actually fills the bank account.

    Growth / Revenue DCF Medium

    Negative free cash flow: revenue/margin growth model used - standard FCF DCF is unreliable for companies still scaling.

    In plain English: we estimate OPI's value by projecting its owner-earnings free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditure and stock-based compensation) into the future and converting it back to what it's worth today. We start from $2.80 per share (projected from revenue × terminal margin), assume revenue grows 15.0% per year for about 5 years (then gradually fades) while the cash margin builds toward its long-run level, and discount everything at 12.5% — the yearly return a buyer should demand for this much risk. After that it's assumed to grow 3.0% per year forever (roughly the long-run pace of the whole economy). A higher discount rate or slower growth means a lower value, and vice-versa — change any of these yourself in the calculator above.

    What this model does NOT do: this is a consolidated owner-earnings cash-flow model. Standalone segment assumptions: none. It does not project lots/units, inventory turnover and gross margin per unit independently; their combined effect is embedded in the historical revenue and cash-flow trend the model extrapolates. The calculator above can only approximate a segment's impact through the single consolidated growth rate — it cannot model any one line separately. For a true segment-level view, build a separate model from the company's segment disclosures.

    Cash Flow (5yr)

    Capital expenditure isn't tagged in this filer's machine-readable data (the CapEx column shows "—"). The free-cash-flow column is therefore operating cash flow less stock-based compensation only — an upper bound on true owner earnings, not the real figure. Companies that report capex under a custom label (some large IFRS filers do) look better here than they are.
