Investment Thesis — STAG Industrial, Inc.
The market overstates the risk of industrial real estate oversupply and underappreciates STAG's embedded rent growth from long-term, below-market leases. Investors are missing how STAG's tenant mix insulates it from cyclical volatility, positioning it for steady NOI growth even if cap rates rise.

- Unexpected surge in e-commerce or reshoring demand

Risk Factors
