Analysis · MRP · Real Estate & Construction
Millrose earned $0.80 per share in AFFO for Q3, up from $0.74 a year ago, and lifted its fourth-quarter AFFO run rate to $0.82-$0.84 — a raise rather than the usual hold. The bigger news is the board's first-ever buyback: $250 million of Class A stock, roughly 7% of the $3.7 billion market value, which gives management a real tool to support a stock trading well below its $35.24 book value per share. The company also put its balance sheet to work outside its Lennar roots, with the Dream Finders/Beazer financing closing at about $1.1 billion and a 1,233-home rental pilot funded mostly with cheap asset-level debt. The trade-off is leverage: debt is $3.1 billion against $5.9 billion of equity, and the $1.0 billion of senior notes priced in September sits outside the quarter-end figures.
