Upturn Advisory & Investor View for VNO

10/02/2026: VNO (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Vornado Realty Trust is a major office-focused real estate investment trust that holds a concentrated portfolio of premium properties in New York City. The company's primary strength lies in its high-quality, transit-oriented assets that attract institutional tenants. Its main growth story centers on large-scale redevelopment projects, such as the PENN District, which aim to modernize urban commercial space. However, investors must monitor risks related to hybrid work trends, interest rate-sensitive debt, and the heavy geographical concentration in Manhattan. Vornado may best suit investors looking for exposure to NYC real estate who are comfortable with the current volatility inherent in the office REIT sector.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

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 101.8% and approximately 83.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 7.44% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
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.
