The thesis, from the filings

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. earns about 3% on equity, but has diluted owners by 66% over 5 years — worth asking whether the growth reaches owners. The applicable estimate puts fair value near $22.08 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

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.
