Real estate has been heavily suppressed by interest rates. This has revealed which REITs are well-managed, like Alpine Income Property. PINE's price remains below pre-pandemic levels, but the 7% dividend yield offsets poor performance. PINE's portfolio has strong tenants but shows some vulnerability with its majority exposure to Walgreens.
Alpine Income Property Trust's ability to grow through property acquisitions has been limited by current market conditions. PINE has some weaknesses such as an unfavorable debt maturity schedule, high tenant concentration, turbulence in the AFFO per share growth, and modest dividend growth. The above factors seem to be reflected in its seemingly low valuation multiple.
