What goes up Musk come down?

Brad Thomas

467 postsApril 11, 2022

Not even a full week has passed since I announced that Elon Musk became the largest shareholder in Twitter. Since then he was offered a board position, supposedly accepted it, and then at some point over the weekend, turned it down? Whatever the reason, the Twitter shares that rose from last week’s news are now falling again.

According to Yahoo! Finance, “TWTR stock fell more than 3% before the open” as a result of Twitter’s announcement that Musk would not be joining the board. We will see what happens in the next 24 hours.

Just as a reminder, last week:

“Twitter announced [Musk] would join the board, with the stipulation that Musk would not increase with stake beyond 14.9%. TWTR stock shot up 27% on Monday.”

Could it be that Musk found another alternative investment, or was 14.9% too small a stake for him on further examination? Only time will tell.

That being said, Twitter shares were not the only stock to fall this morning.

“Dow Jones futures lost 0.4% vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures sank 0.7%. Nasdaq 100 futures retreated 1.2%, with Tesla stock a big negative.”

And:

“U.S. crude oil futures tumbled 5%.”

More non-REIT News

Airlines are gearing up for summer travel by hiring more staff to man those flights.

As reported by CNBC:

“American Airlines is planning to hire 18,000 workers in 2022, on top of thousands of new employees this year to cater to a rebound in travel.”

And:

“Southwest says it plans to hire more than 8,000 employees in 2022 after adding about 5,000 this year.”

No airline wants to repeat the fiasco (thousands of canceled flights) that occurred earlier this year.

World According to REITs

Over the years, I’ve thought about the creation of different REITs, and this morning, I did some snooping to see if there were any airline REITs in the works.

Surprisingly enough, one of my own articles came up from July 6, 2017 entitled, An Airport REIT, Why Not?

I floated the idea after I shared that Trump proposed, “$137 billion in federal tax credits to companies that finance transportation projects.”

To quote myself, again:

“Who knows, maybe there will be a new REIT added to my coverage universe that owns airport terminals and leases them back on a long-term basis.”

Although the financial climate has changed, I still think it would be a good investment. Hopefully, bringing it back up again will spark some creative REIT minds to get to work!

And now onto The Daily REITBeat news:

Sun Communities Inc. (SUI): On Friday, the company announced the closing of its acquisition of Park Holidays UK. It acquired 40 owned and two managed communities in the U.K., primarily located in seaside locations in the south of England, for £950 million (~$1.3 billion). It issued SUI common stock with a value of approximately $33 million at closing, paid the balance of the purchase price in cash, and announced its planned CFO succession: Fernando Castro‐Caratini, current senior vice president of finance & capital markets, will be assuming the role of CFO on May 2, 2022. Karen Dearing, the Company’s current CFO, will begin serving as executive vice president of special projects, focusing on the integration of the company’s U.K. acquisitions and other key initiatives.

Camden Property Trust (CPT): On Thursday, the company priced 2.9 million shares of common stock, raising gross proceeds of $493 million (~$170/share). It intends to use the net proceeds to reduce borrowings under its $900 million unsecured line of credit, which it incurred to fund the acquisition from Teacher Retirement System of Texas (68.7% interest in two of Camden’s investment funds) and for general corporate purposes, which may include financing for acquisitions and funding for development activities.

AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (AVB): On Wednesday, the company priced 2 million shares of common stock, raising gross proceeds of $497.2 million (~$248.60/share) in a forward sale agreement. It intends to use the net proceeds from the future settlement of the forward sale agreements (if any) for identified and prospective land acquisitions, the development and redevelopment of apartment communities, the acquisition of communities, and working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the company’s commercial paper program or its $1.75 billion revolving variable rate unsecured credit facility.
