I recently bought even more shares of Prologis (PLD -3.32%) and Rexford Industrial Realty (REXR -2.55%). I've purchased shares of the leading industrial real estate investment trusts (REITs) several times over the past year.
Market fear creates hesitation, but history shows scary headlines often mark great buying opportunities. I assess risk, not just wait for perfect timing. My strategy to rotate from growth to value has helped me outperform. I bought quality dividend growers when panic set in, based on logic, not luck. I highlight two compelling stocks: one a powerful long-term grower in healthcare, the other a higher-yielding pick tied to industrial strength and income stability.
Prologis remains a top REIT by market cap despite a 43% decline from its all-time high, reflecting broad sector weakness since 2022 rate hikes. A near decade high dividend yield of (4.11%) is attractive for long-term investors, especially given Prologis' AFFO yield (4.76%) and past dividend growth (10.93% CAGR). Historical fears from the 2008 crash still linger, but e-commerce growth and logistics demand have transformed the landscape, supporting Prologis' relevance.

PLD's Q1 FFO beat estimates, benefiting from a rise in rental revenues and healthy leasing activity. However, high interest expenses are a concern.
The headline numbers for Prologis (PLD) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended March 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
Prologis (PLD) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.42 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.38 per share. This compares to FFO of $1.28 per share a year ago.
While PLD's Q1 earnings may have benefited from its premium assets and expansion, elevated supply and high-interest costs may have offset some gains.
The past for Prologis has been stable but dull, with no significant growth prospects. Due to duties, there could be congestion in the logistics of goods, potentially leading to higher inventories. It is likely that some companies will decide to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., creating long-term demand for Prologis's services.
Prologis (PLD) concluded the recent trading session at $96.23, signifying a +1.41% move from its prior day's close.
