Abstract

This study investigates value relevance of three-performance measures (net income (NI), funds from operations (FFO), and fair values on investment property (FVIP) on stock prices of Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs). Using data from A-REITs over the period 2012–2021 and estimating a panel system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), results suggest that of the three, only net income is significantly and positively related to the stock prices of A-REITs. The implication of this study for investors and fund managers is that net income is the most important accounting number that investors look for in the financial statements of A-REITs.
