The thesis, from the filings

CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST earns about 8% on equity, but has diluted owners by 5% over 5 years — worth asking whether the growth reaches owners. The applicable estimate puts fair value near $90.2 a share. Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

iii. Is this a good business?

It earned an average 8% on equity over 5 years. Compare that to what it costs to fund the business.

Management signal · capital allocation

Share count is up 5% over 5 years — owners have been diluted. Worth asking what they got for it. Total debt has risen 23% over the same window.

Signals, not verdicts — read from the filings above. Numbers don’t prove a moat; they show its footprint. You decide.

REIT — real-estate depreciation is an accounting charge on assets that generally appreciate, so it inflates free cash flow and depresses reported earnings and book value at the same time. Every model here reads one of those, and none is a fair base. FFO/AFFO is the applicable measure — see the FFO capitalisation model, which values REITs from it.
