Nexus Industrial's Dividend Remains At Risk With An AFFO Payout Ratio Of Nearly 100%
Nexus Industrial has completed its transition to a pure-play industrial REIT, now deriving 99% of NOI from industrial assets. The company offers an attractive 7.9% yield, but dividend coverage remains tight. Moderate growth, limited near-term catalysts, and a high net debt-to-EBITDA ratio suggest caution despite the apparent undervaluation relative to its peers.
Nexus Industrial REIT: This Big Yield Continues To Get Safer
Nexus Industrial REIT offers an 8.2% yield, attractive valuation, and potential upside as it's able to renew leases at higher rates, making it a compelling buy. The REIT's portfolio is 99% industrial, focused in high-demand Canadian provinces, with long-term leases and significant rental growth potential, especially in Ontario. Recent expansions include new developments and acquisitions, with these deals expected to add to the bottom line in 2025 and 2026.
