How should an owner decide whether to accept a strong offer today or continue holding for potential future appreciation?

Selling & Exiting
The decision should compare the certainty of today’s offer with the expected risk-adjusted return from continued ownership. Consider future cash flow, capital expenditures, lease rollover, financing, taxes, market outlook, management burden, and alternative uses of the equity.
Future appreciation should be evaluated as a probability—not a promise.
A disciplined owner compares the complete economics of holding with the complete opportunities created by selling, rather than allowing either current enthusiasm or future optimism to dominate the decision.
