A 270,000-acre California land bank trading below book while entitlements finally convert to shovels in the ground.
Where TRC is headed
Tejon Ranch is the strangest small-cap in America. It owns 270,000 contiguous acres roughly an hour north of Los Angeles, an area larger than the city of Phoenix, carried on the balance sheet at historical cost from the 1800s. The market caps the whole thing at $443M, below stated book, as if the land itself were a stranded asset. The thesis for the next five years is simple: that mispricing closes as the Mountain Village and Centennial residential projects move from permit purgatory to actual lot sales, and as the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center (TRCC) continues absorbing industrial demand from the Inland Empire overflow.
