Preferred P/E of 24.5x for Mitsui Fudosan Accommodations Fund: Is it justified?

Mitsui Fudosan Accommodations Fund is trading on a P/E of 24.5x, which screens as expensive compared with both peer and industry benchmarks even after the recent share price weakness.

The P/E ratio compares the current share price with earnings per share and is a common yardstick for income generating real estate such as J REITs. A higher P/E often implies the market is putting a richer price on each unit of earnings, which can reflect expectations for steadier growth, perceived quality of earnings or demand for income focused assets.

For Mitsui Fudosan Accommodations Fund, that 24.5x P/E sits above the Global Residential REITs industry average of 21.3x and above the peer average of 19.5x. It is also higher than an estimated fair P/E of 21.2x that some investors may use as a reference level the market could move towards if expectations cool or enthusiasm becomes more measured over time.
