Investment Thesis — Prologis, Inc.
The market overvalues Prologis based on its perceived safety and growth, ignoring the structural headwinds facing logistics real estate as e-commerce warehouse demand normalizes. Investors are paying a premium for past growth, not recognizing that future cash flows are likely to disappoint as supply outpaces demand and rent growth slows.
