Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $20.12, market value $966 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.5×** (5-yr avg 8.4×, 3-yr avg 8.4×). Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund Inc. trades at 8.5× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 8.4×. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 16.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 16.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.8%** (5-yr avg 10.4%). Free cash flow equals 7.8% of the market value, below its five-year average of 10.4%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 11.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 96.7%**. 96.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 5.8%**. 5.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 4.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.0% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -36.8%**. Revenue fell 36.8% over the last year.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -8.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -8.3% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Cash and short-term investments: $1 million**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 8.11%** ($0.82 per share, trailing). Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund Inc. yields 8.11%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 132%** (101% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (132% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 2**. 2 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 1.9%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has grown 1.9% a year over five years.

- **From 52-week high: -10.9%** (4.4% above the low). Trading 11% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 42**. An RSI of 42 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.36** (volatility 13%). Beta of 0.36 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
