In a series of research notes released this Friday, analysts at DA Davidson initiated coverage on several real estate investment trusts (REITs). Here’s a breakdown of what they had to say about each name.
Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corp MNR 0.28%
Analysts are predicting about 10 percent earnings growth over the next two years. They see very little opportunity for internal earnings growth, and their 10 percent growth estimate assumes that the company will execute its acquisition strategy.
DA Davidson set a Neutral rating on the REIT and a price target of $12.
Duke Realty Corp DRE 0.53%
Analysts believe that Duke’s high valuation relative to REIT peers is deserved, but the high price tag does limit potential upside from current levels. In light of the REIT’s flat growth rate and high valuation, it’s hard for analysts to be excited about it at the moment.
DA Davidson set a Neutral rating on the REIT and a price target of $23.
Chambers Street Properties CSG 0.26%
Analysts love the REIT’s 11.2X multiple compared to the overall 17.3X multiple of the group. DA Davidson set a Buy rating on the REIT and a price target of $9.
Terreno Realty Corp TRNO 1.56%
Analysts like the REIT’s acquisition plan for the next two years and believe that it could generate annual earnings growth of up to 20 percent during that span. DA Davidson set a Buy rating on the REIT and a price target of $27.
Stag Industrial Inc STAG 0.04%
Analysts worry that Stag’s exposure to long-term leases at single-tenant buildings could put the REIT at a disadvantage when interest rates start to rise. DA Davidson set a Neutral rating on the REIT and a price target of $25.
Rexford Industrial Realty Inc REXR 0.76%
Analysts like that Rexford is trading at a discount to NAV and believe that it can grow earnings at a 10 percent annual rate over the next two years. DA Davidson set a Buy rating on the REIT and a price target of $20.

Want to learn more about the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense.
