Easterly Government Properties: I Like The Stability Of The Business But Not The Dividend Cut
Easterly Government Properties offers unique stability with 98% of tenants as U.S. government agencies and long-term contracts, but faces limited rent growth. The business model creates a strong moat, yet makes properties hard to repurpose or sell, increasing operational stickiness. Rising interest expenses and a recent 32% dividend cut, though justified, undermine confidence in the stock's income reliability.
Easterly Government Properties: Attractive Entry Point
DEA shares are oversold due to DOGE budget cut fears, now trading at a deep discount versus peers, offering a compelling entry point. DEA's core business—leasing mission-critical properties to the U.S. government—remains stable, with long-term leases and built-in inflation protection. The recent dividend cut, while unpopular, aligns payout ratios with industry best practices and ensures the 7.8% yield is sustainable.
The More It Drops, The More I Buy
High-yield stocks with recent price dips can offer value, but require careful analysis to avoid value traps from structural or balance sheet issues. I share two very sustainable 8-9% yields that look highly compelling after their recent dips. I detail why they offer mid to high teen annualized total return potential alongside relatively low long-term risk.
