Innovative Industrial Properties Is A Cautious Buy

Summary

  • IIPR remains risky but attractive for cannabis investors after a major price drop, offering deep value compared to peers despite ongoing tenant and industry challenges.
  • Recent financials show declining revenue, EPS, and AFFO, with dividend sustainability in question and refinancing risk looming, but the balance sheet remains relatively stable.
  • Valuation is compelling at 0.8x tangible book and a 14.5% dividend yield, though a dividend cut is likely; technicals suggest possible further downside but also significant upside potential.
  • IIPR is safer than MSOs and preferred over other cannabis REITs for exposure, but investors should consider the Preferred A shares for a more cautious approach with a 9% yield.
