Americold: A Globally Critical Cold-Storage Industrial REIT, But Occupancy Could Improve
Summary For my first rating of Americold, I called it a hold. I like their large global portfolio and key role in a critical niche like cold storage, their high dividend yield (above 8%), and investment-grade rating from Fitch. Margins have shown pressure, with this business model being a high-cost one among industrial REITs, and any reduced occupancy can impact earnings. This REIT (COLD) has a notable list of major names in the food/consumer staples/grocery niche, including Walmart, Tyson's, and others. Spikes in energy costs this year could have a downside risk to this particular type of REIT, which depends heavily on electricity powering temperature-controlled storage.
