The net income multiple characterizes the ability of REIT to pay dividends (since it constitutes a source of dividend payment) and the REIT investment prospects, which are included in its share price. It also describes the price that investors are willing to pay per unit of net income. The author comes to a conclusion that there is a statistically significant connection between the net income multiple and such factors as diversification, interest rate, inflation and the GDP.
