Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (PECO)

Trade Timeline

Risk Factors

• •Low Capture Score of 28/100 and low overall Quality Score (8/100) indicate weak statistical edge and elevated risk of underperformance.
• •Gap fill rates are 0.0% for both 7-day and 14-day windows, implying that post-dividend price dips historically have not reliably recovered within those periods.
• •Average capture yield of 0.284% is small versus short-term price noise and transaction costs; the expected return of 0.49% is modest for the risk taken.
• •Historical 7-day and 14-day win rates around 50–52% (50.0% and 51.9%) suggest only a slight edge, close to coin-flip outcomes.
• •Momentum metrics show a flat 5-day and 20-day slope (0.0000% per day), so there is no positive trend tailwind to support the capture trade.
• •Volatility reading (ATR 0.00%) is likely an artifact or incomplete data; if actual volatility is higher, the realized drawdowns could easily overwhelm the small dividend and expected capture gain.

Action Checklist

• 1.Confirm current PECO price, yield, and any updated dividend announcements closer to the 2026-01-15 ex-dividend date.
• 2.If pursuing capture, prepare a trading plan around the Buy 7d / Sell 1d strategy, with entry targeted near 2026-01-08 and exit near 2026-01-16.
• 3.Set strict position sizing and stop-loss levels, given the low Capture Score (28/100) and small expected edge (0.49% expected return).
• 4.Estimate all transaction costs and taxes to ensure the small average capture yield (~0.284%) is not fully eroded.
• 5.Monitor price and news for PECO during the pre–ex-dividend window; abort or adjust the trade if volatility or negative catalysts increase.
• 6.For long-term portfolios, prioritize higher-quality, higher-yield names over PECO given its 1.22% yield and low long-term score (8/100).
