STAG Industrial: Attractive 4.7% Yield REIT

In recent quarters, while real estate sub sectors such as office and retail have struggled as a result of the pandemic, selective industrial REITs have emerged as outperformers primarily because of the growth in e-commerce. For example, the specific industrial REIT we review in this article has consistently expanded its asset base since its IPO in 2011 and is well placed to grow in the years ahead (through planned acquisitions and rental accretions). It also offers a 4.7% dividend yield, paid monthly. In this report, we analyze the company’s income profile, growth as well as dividend prospects and finally conclude with our opinion on investing.
