My big concern with CBL is the deterioration of their unencumbered properties. That deterioration continued into Q3 and I believe that is the straw that will break the camel's back. CBL needs their numbers to turn around and they need them to turn around soon. Meanwhile, their revolving lender has significant influence on their decisions.Specific issues that really raise red flags for me is Greenbrier mall being handed to the lender with little notice, paying significant money to redevelop Janesville and then selling it at a loss, selling 25% of their interest in El Paso- a mall doing very well, selling a power center that was healthy- now is NOT the time for CBL to be selling healthy properties. It stinks of being desperate to delever at any cost and these decisions don't make sense.In the near-term, I think there are some tailwinds for CBL. Ashner certainly helps perception (though I'd take little comfort, shareholders have not always emerged as winners when Ashner gets involved) and CBL should be reinstating some dividend next year, which should be bullish for common and preferred shares. I think we could be looking at another year, or even two before the ugliness becomes very apparent. The biggest risk is that their unencumbered properties deteriorate to the point where they are cash-flow negative (some have to be VERY close right now). Then CBL has the problem that they cannot sell them because then they violate their unencumbered asset covenants (150% of unencumbered asset value to unsecured debt- currently at 177% down from the 190s), and their cash-flow metrics tumble fast. Can improvements in Tier 1 offset that? I'm not sure.
