For low, Subprime
Performing and opportunistic
I love the idea of this thread because I'm always struggling to describe in investment memos / investor reports.
Challenged, stressed, appealing to value-add investors, opportunistic leasing scenario
optimistically-priced, valued at high end of range, ask above market, rich asking price, etc.
Does below market value / above market value make sense in this case?
You sound like realtors now. Yeah this is a nice cozy office building with a optimistic motivated seller. It’s awaiting the personal touch of just the right buyer but can be considered perfectly turn key.
I write about different stocks on a website, and when I'm writing I typically stick to a table of descriptors.
If the P/V is 1 then I'll say undervalued and vice versa if overvalued.
When I describe sales growth, I'll typically say aggressive, conservative, or neutral.
I'll use other descriptors but typically for other random items I.E. "the debt to equity ratio allows for a cheap price per share.".
Nice list going so far. Not trying to sound salesy, more along the lines of taking something to our investment committee and having a variety of descriptors to use
If the asset is overvalued: "I'm not sure that we are being paid for the risk here." "Feels rich" "Pricing is full"
If asset is under/fairly priced/shows potential: In today's market I find myself rarely using phrases to describe under valued / fairly priced assets. No need to talk about it when one is found. Everyone just knows it.
If the asset is under/fairly price/shows potential I usual use...
"Looks good, but must have made an underwriting mistake"
Above/below replacement cost
Top of market
Record setting
Distressed
Bargain
Popular one around here seems to be "deal is pretty thin at that pricing"
"deal is pretty thin at that pricing"
-every credit person ever
Strong
Discount to market
Torqued
