Stocks were mixed this morning as the exodus out of pricey tech shares and into reopening names continued. Investors seemed to look past the looming threat of ongoing variant waves, choosing names that should benefit if the economic recovery continues steadily. It seems growth names with sky-high valuations have finally lost their appeal as value, and cyclical shares have come back into favor, for now. But you can have the best of both worlds in one ticker.
Today we’re highlighting a real estate investment that should appeal to readers seeking value and growth. If you’re looking to unlock this powerful combination, look no further.
STAG Industrial, Inc. (STAG) is a real estate investment trust focused on acquiring and operating single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the U.S. Currently, the company owns 517 properties across 40 states with 103.4 million square feet of space.
STAG is active across all aspects of the industrial real estate market, including owning light manufacturing properties and flex/office space. Because these properties are essential to their tenants, STAG was able to collect nearly all the rent billed last year. Flex/office space is a market estimated at $1 trillion of properties in the U.S. alone. With just a 0.5% share of that market, STAG has plenty of room to grow.
STAG’s portfolio is continually expanding through acquisition. It will often purchase value-add properties and leverage its substantial leasing and redevelopment experience to increase shareholder value. Over the next five years, it plans to spend $800 million to $1.2 billion on property purchases.
Thanks to this acquisition strategy, the company’s payout has been slowly but steadily increasing. Given the REIT’s aim to invest billions in expanding its portfolio over the next five years, that trend should continue. The stock sports a comfortable, 3.4% yield paid out monthly, making it even more attractive to income-seeking investors.
STAG has developed an investment strategy that helps investors find a powerful balance of income plus growth. That income with upside makes them a great high-yield REIT to consider adding to your portfolio.
