Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s share price was $5.05 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 4.4% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $4 and $7, and at that close it sat 32% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −38% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Empire State Realty Trust pay? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. paid $0.14 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.04 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $5.05 that is a yield of 2.77%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Empire State Realty Trust on? Empire State Realty Trust is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Empire State Realty Trust profitable? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. posted a net loss of $25.8 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $43.4 M. That loss is 13.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $6.5 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Jun 2026 profit was −$25.8 M, −496.1% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was $43.4 M (−8.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +3.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.7 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −136.9% and revenue +2.6%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Empire State Realty Trust make, and is it growing? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. reported $197 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +3.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 6.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $768 M. The last four reported quarters add to $783 M. FY25 revenue was $768 M, +0.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.6% on average, against 6.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +2.6%, against +1.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −92.4%, against −73.4% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Empire State Realty Trust keep? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s operating margin was 16.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.7 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 14.3% and 20.8%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## Is Empire State Realty Trust's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 531% of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $249 M of operating cash against $43.4 M of profit. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Empire State Realty Trust's cash go? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Empire State Realty Trust's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s P/E is 276.5×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 90% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 32.0×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −10.0% while the price moved −31.7%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Empire State Realty Trust business getting better or worse? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −92.4% in the latest quarter, against +155.2% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 3.5%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Empire State Realty Trust earn on its capital? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. earned a ROE of 2% in FY25. That is up from a low of −1% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 4.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 5.7% net margin and 0.17× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 5.7% net margin × 0.17× asset turnover × 2.45× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 2.4% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 1.9% − 6.4% = −4.5 percentage points. The 6.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 1.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 3.1%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Empire State Realty Trust have too much debt? Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. has total debt of $2.2 B against shareholder equity of $1.8 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.24× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.40 in FY21 to 1.32 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Empire State Realty Trust shareholding pattern? 9.7% of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Empire State Realty Trust from balance-sheet trouble? For Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Empire State Realty Trust rank in its industry? 32.8 out of 100, rank 12 of 13 in REIT - Diversified, with 80% of the evidence available. Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. scores 32.8 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in REIT - Diversified, ranking 12. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 8.3 + 10.5 + 4.3 + 9.7 = 32.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Empire State Realty Trust compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
