Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Corporate Office Properties Trust stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Corporate Office Properties Trust is a fully-integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust that focuses principally on the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition and development of suburban office buildings located in select submarkets in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Corporate Office Properties operates three real estate service companies: Corporate Development Services, Corporate Office Services and Corporate Management Services. " (9/7/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "OFC has been one of the top Trump trades among REITs given the company's focus on the defense industry. That said, with the stock having run 28% since the election, and now trading at an FFO multiple that is 25% above its 5- year average, we believe the potential for fundamental improvement is already priced in. At these levels, we prefer to wait on the sidelines until Congress approves a budget and we have a better sense of the upside." (2/21/2017)
• 3. Mizuho analysts commented, "OFC reported solid 4Q16 results with same store NOI growth of 4.2% possibly restoring any lost confidence from investors after the 1% growth during 3Q16 -- although both were in line with prevailing expectations. Management reiterated 2017 guidance that was set on January 17, 2017. We are actually raising our 2017 estimates slightly today (by $0.02) given what we feel like is more visible stability/growth that lies ahead. In particular, OFC sits at a rare intersection of political agreement, with US defense spending increases being in general agreement from both sides of the aisle." (2/13/2017)
