Hi Robert,
REIT's is something we are looking into. Although there are certain components of each screener that are relevant, they are imperfect when looking at REITs. Given this, I would not compare them against any other company, and would look at them in comparison to other REITs. In our growth screener, attention to growth rates, P/B and RSI are all relevant. Less relevant are PE and PEG. In our dividend screeners - pay attention to payout ratios as a % of OCF and FCF, dividend growth streaks and yields. The payout ratio as a % of earnings is less relevant.
Of note, we have been developing a REIT screener that will be focused entirely on what is most important to REITs. One of the challenges is finding reliable data sources on AFFO and FFO as these are non-GAAP measures they are inconsistently reported by company, and by data provider. We are working with our data provider to get the information we need. Once we have a product we are happy with, we will be releasing it to subscribers. It is one of our priorities.
