Baron Partners Fund made the following comment about Douglas Emmett, Inc. (NYSE:DEI) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:
"Douglas Emmett, Inc. (NYSE:DEI) is a REIT that owns and manages office buildings and apartment communities concentrated in West Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and Honolulu. Shares declined due to weak fourth quarter results and full-year guidance. Business fundamentals are challenged, driven by slower leasing activity, elevated vacancies, and diminished pricing power across the company’s sub-markets. Higher interest expense is also negatively impacting earnings. We remain optimistic about the company’s long-term business prospects, owing to its irreplaceable portfolio in supply constrained markets and manageable debt levels, and we view the current valuation as highly discounted."
