Upturn Advisory & Investor View for DEA

10/02/2026: DEA (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Easterly Government Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership and management of high-security facilities leased to U.S. federal agencies. The company benefits from its long-term, credit-worthy tenant base, which provides a reliable stream of dividend-supporting cash flows. Its growth story centers on acquiring and modernizing mission-critical buildings essential to agency operations. However, investors must monitor risks such as federal budgetary shifts, interest rate sensitivity, and the potential impact of long-term office utilization trends. The stock is best suited for income-oriented investors seeking defensive exposure to government-backed real estate, provided they are comfortable with the specific risks associated with the office sector.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
DEA receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
DEA has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 77.1%) and solid revenue growth (+11.3%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-33.5%), soft profitability (net margin 3.9%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
DEA's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (77.1% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is DEA's strongest growth driver at +59.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+11.3%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-33.5%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 80.8% and approximately 94.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 5.81% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.90%
State Street Corp 5.24%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.12%
MIRAE ASSET GLOBAL ETFS HOLDINGS Ltd. 3.24%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
DEA generates approximately $-9 of gross profit, $249 of operating income, and $771 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
DEA has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
