Saul Centers trades at a steep 7.84x price/book, up 30%, despite lagging peers in 3-year total return. BFS preferreds (BFS.PR.D, BFS.PR.E) yield 7.3% and 6.6% but lack credit ratings and trade below par. Moody's methodology suggests a Ba3 credit profile for BFS, implying B2 for its preferreds—signaling elevated credit risk.
