Upturn Advisory & Investor View for VNO

11/06/2026: VNO (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Vornado Realty Trust is a specialized real estate investment trust (REIT) heavily concentrated in premium Manhattan office and retail properties. The company’s primary strengths lie in its high-barrier-to-entry portfolio, particularly its transit-oriented holdings around the Penn Plaza district. The central investment story revolves around the long-term redevelopment of the Penn District, which aims to create a major urban office campus. However, investors face material risks from structural changes in office work, high leverage, and geographical concentration. This stock may suit investors seeking specific exposure to New York commercial real estate, though it demands careful monitoring of interest rates and office occupancy trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
VNO receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
VNO has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+1185.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 69.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+1.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
VNO's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.3B (69.5% of revenue). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is VNO's strongest growth driver at +1185.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+134.0%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+1.3%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 101.1% and approximately 83.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 7.43% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 11.86%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 7.77%
NORGES BANK 7.71%
Franklin Templeton Inc 7.16%
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 5.10%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
VNO generates approximately $1,000 of gross profit, $150 of operating income, and $695 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 1.42%

Quantitative Style Profile

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