A commercial entity wherein the company hopes to get a strategic investor in place to further develop the business and target doubling of rents in four years and a residential entity, which targets to cut its debt by more than half in two years, eventually reaching a zero debt/positive net cash position.
Analyst at JP Morgan in recent report said “In the interim, if the company is able to transact a stake in its rentco, then it will help establish valuation benchmark for the rental company – very similar to what other property developers have done, and accelerate its overall debt reduction target”.
We will monitor how the company’s free cash moves over the next two to three quarters, added report.
