Another view: Agree Realty looks expensive on earnings multiples

While one narrative for Agree Realty leans on fair value estimates near $84.56 and a 55.2% discount to an intrinsic value of $180.04, the current P/E of 45.7x paints a different picture when set against the US Retail REITs industry at 27.3x and peer average of 24.2x.

The fair ratio for Agree Realty is 37.8x, so today’s 45.7x level sits well above where the market could move towards. This would mean less room for error if earnings or growth assumptions fall short. For investors, the question is whether this premium multiple is a comfort or a warning sign.
