Is Whitestone REIT stock undervalued or overvalued?

Recently Whitestone REIT has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Whitestone REIT shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Whitestone REIT's case, that would currently equate to about $0.488 per share.

While Whitestone REIT's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Whitestone REIT may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
