Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OGCP

10/23/2026: OGCP (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Empire State Realty OP LP is the operating partnership of a real estate investment trust focused on the Manhattan office market and the iconic Empire State Building Observatory. The company benefits from a high-quality portfolio and a conservative balance sheet that supports stability. Its primary growth opportunity lies in repositioning properties for modern tenant demands and driving tourism revenue at the Observatory. However, the company faces material risks from the secular decline in office occupancy and macroeconomic volatility. It is a potential fit for value-oriented investors seeking income, provided they can tolerate the cyclical nature of the NYC commercial real estate sector.

Investor Fit

Investor styleFitWhy
Growth investorWeak fitThe company is a mature REIT focused on stability rather than high-growth earnings expansion.
Momentum investorWeak fitThe office REIT sector has generally faced downward momentum, making it a poor fit unless a clear upward breakout occurs.
Value investorStrong fitThe stock often trades at a significant discount to Net Asset Value (NAV), appealing to investors looking for undervalued real estate assets.
Dividend investorMixed fitWhile it pays a dividend, the stability of the payout is subject to the cyclical nature of office demand.
Low-risk investorMixed fitThe conservative balance sheet reduces risk, but the concentration in Manhattan office assets introduces cyclical volatility.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
OGCP receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
OGCP has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 6.6%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-40.8%), moderate revenue growth (+0.0%), soft profitability (net margin 6.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
OGCP's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (6.6% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is OGCP's strongest growth driver at +0.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-40.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-42.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 8.0% (soft) and 552.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
OGCP generates approximately $18 of gross profit, $177 of operating income, and $66 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with moderate cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 3.39%

Quantitative Style Profile

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