Investors in lead Industrial REIT STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE:STAG<\/span>) have seen a remarkable revival since it bottomed out in October 2022. In a late-October article, I urged holders to buy, arguing why STAG had reached peak pessimism, even as Wall Street analysts “moved to cut their estimates markedly.”<\/span><\/p>\n

As such, the dip-buyers in late 2022 correctly anticipated the US economy wouldn’t fall into a debilitating recession. Furthermore, the steep pullback in March was also defended robustly by astute dip-buyers, as the undue concerns of a significant credit crunch didn’t materialize. As such, top industrial REITs like Stag Industrial have also benefited from more stable market conditions, improving bid-ask spreads, which are beneficial for its acquisition and disposition activities.<\/p>\n

However, the financial media has started to spook investors again following the Fed’s “hawkish pause” last week. As a reminder, the FOMC voted to keep rates unchanged in the 5.25% to 5.50% range. However, given the resilient US economy, the committee also tempered their forecasts for rate reductions in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stories about an economic recession have reappeared as market participants contemplate the impact of a higher-for-longer Fed, adjusting their expectations on valuations.<\/p>\n

As such, real estate stocks have also suffered the brunt of the broad market selloff last week, given the sector’s sensitivity and exposure to interest rate fluctuations.<\/p>\n

STAG was also not immune to last week’s hammering, falling close to its late August lows ($34.50 level). As such, I believe it’s opportune for me to update holders on whether they should consider capitalizing on the recent pullback to buy more shares.<\/p>\n

Stag Industrial posted a Fall business update recently. The company has continued to experience robust recovery of its underlying operating performance. Accordingly, Stag Industrial updated that “93.2% of expected 2023 new and renewal leasing has been addressed,” leading to a “cash rent change of 30.8%.” As such, the momentum from its second quarter or FQ2 earnings performance has continued, providing more clarity for investors for the second half. Management also maintained its FY23 same-store cash NOI guidance between 5% and 5.25%.<\/p>\n

STAG Quant Grades (Seeking Alpha)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seeking Alpha’s Quant assigned STAG with favorable factor grades for growth (B+), profitability (B+), and Momentum (A-). STAG’s momentum has been particularly solid, likely attracting REIT investors anticipating more robust performance from industrial leaders like STAG.<\/p>\n

As such, I’m not surprised that STAG has significantly outperformed its real estate peers (XLRE) since STAG\/XLRE bottomed out in July\/August 2022. The question is whether buyers are willing to continue paying a premium against STAG’s premium valuation (assigned a “D+” valuation grade), given its robust recovery from its 2022 lows.<\/p>\n

As seen above, STAG has regained its upward bias, corroborating robust buying sentiment. It has formed constructive higher lows and higher highs since its 2022 bottom ($26.50 level), justifying its “A-” momentum grade.<\/p>\n

As such, I gleaned that the recent pullback from its July highs ($39 level) represents a solid opportunity for investors who missed buying more earlier this year to add exposure.<\/p>\n

I anticipate robust support against its August lows ($34.50 level), with May lows ($33.40 level) providing a more aggressive dip-buying opportunity if we face further downside volatility.<\/p>\n
