Gladstone’s President Bob Cutlip added, “This transaction promotes our strategy of increasing our allocation to industrial buildings in strong growth corridors and we are happy to add high-quality real estate and credit to the portfolio.”

The acquired facility is currently leased to Mobile Mini Inc., a subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini (WSC), and still has about 12.7 years of lease term remaining.

On June 15, B.Riley Financial analyst Craig Kucera reiterated a Buy rating on the stock but increased the price target to $25 (10.7% upside potential) from $23.

Reacting after NAREIT’s REITweek, Kucera thinks that as the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, REITs are generally optimistic about current business and macro trends.

Based on 4 unanimous Buys, consensus among analysts is a Strong Buy. The GOOD average analyst price target of $24 implies 6.3% upside potential. Shares have gained 27.8% so far this year.
