Top Real Estate Stocks by EBITDA
Top real estate companies ranked by EBITDA, latest annual filings.
What EBITDA Means for Real Estate Companies
EBITDA measures earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. In real estate the framing maps naturally onto how landlords already describe their business, because REITs routinely report net operating income, or NOI, which likewise excludes depreciation of buildings that do not physically erode the way accounting schedules imply. EBITDA is therefore a familiar reference here, useful for comparing property operators across different portfolio mixes, leverage levels, and tax structures.
Why It Matters in Real Estate
Buildings generate large depreciation charges under standard accounting even as well-maintained properties hold or grow their value over time. EBITDA, like NOI, strips that accounting artifact out to show the operating yield the portfolio produces. Real-estate investors typically still lean on FFO and AFFO, which are property-specific versions of the same idea. EBITDA is less granular than those REIT-native metrics but remains a common cross-sector comparison tool.
What to Read Alongside
Pair EBITDA with Free Cash Flow to see the cash available after maintenance capex and working capital, Net Income, and Debt since real-estate balance sheets are typically levered by design.

How this ranking is built
Companies are ranked by EBITDA as reported in their most recent annual filing with the SEC. Figures shown are in US dollars (or percent, as noted), rounded to two decimals.
- Source: annual 10-K / 20-F filings from companies trading on US exchanges (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX).
- Fiscal year: whichever annual period the company has most recently filed. Fiscal years don't always align with the calendar year, so the "as of FY" stamp above reflects the most common year across the table.
- Filtered out: warrants, preferred shares, and duplicate listings that share a parent company's financials.
- Size floor: A company qualifies at $500 million in market cap or above. Below that, one mis-stated figure outranks the companies the list is about.
- Currency check: A company whose annual revenue runs above 15 times its market cap is left out, because at that gap the two figures are not in the same currency.
- Currency check: A company whose balance sheet runs above 150 times its market cap is left out for the same reason.
- Update cadence: refreshed as companies file new annual reports (typically within 60–90 days of fiscal year end).
