Prologis is an industrial REIT focused on logistics properties, with the majority of net operating income coming from the United States. Prologis has underperformed the Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF in 2024. Even so, I am neutral on the shares due to low gearing and elevated valuation. Q2 2024 results were robust in the core Rental Operations segment but saw weakness in Strategic Capital and occupancy developments.
Prologis (PLD) closed the most recent trading day at $124.47, moving +0.26% from the previous trading session.
Prologis is the largest owner and operator of industrial real estate globally, with a focus on high-growth markets and a diverse tenant base. Series Q preferred shares have rallied 14% to $62/share, now trading at a 24% premium to liquidation preference with a yield-to-call of -1%. With a call date in 2026, the significant premium to liquidation preference and negative YTC lead to a Sell rating.
