Key Takeaways for Investors
- Industrial mix at ~75% of base rent is the central thesis and should support steadier cash flows; continued acquisitions reinforce this trajectory .
- AFFO/share held at $0.48 despite higher interest expense and more shares outstanding; watch the pace of accretive deployment versus financing costs to protect per‑share distributions .
- Interest expense is the primary P&L headwind near‑term (+15.2% YoY); refinancing cadence and fixed/swapped coverage remain important monitoring points .
- Liquidity of $96.4M provides flexibility for selective acquisitions and debt management while maintaining the $0.45 quarterly dividend (130th consecutive) .
- Tenant credit remains largely stable with ~98.5% occupancy; monitor disclosed bankruptcy‑affected base rent exposure ($235k inside 2025 base rent) for collection/leaseback outcomes .
- With thin Street coverage, small estimate variances can appear as “misses” but may have limited informational content; focus on leasing, cash rent growth, and accretion from recent acquisitions (quarterly contribution guidance provided) .
