ATLANTA, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Americold Realty Trust (NYSE: COLD), a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics, real estate, and value-added services focused on the ownership, operation, acquisition and development of temperature-controlled warehouses, today announced that the Company will release second quarter 2026 financial results before the market opens on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

REITs are poised for 6-7% earnings growth in coming years, outpacing the historical 3-4% average, with multiple sectors showing accelerating fundamentals. Shopping centers, healthcare (notably senior housing), and data centers are standout sectors, benefiting from robust private market demand, supply constraints, and AI-driven tailwinds. Office REITs see improving leasing, especially from AI-related demand, while quality bifurcation widens; overweight positions in BXP and CUZ reflect this thesis.

Americold Realty Trust remains a Buy, offering a strong yield and margin of safety amid challenging macro conditions. The $1.3B joint venture with EQT unlocks $1.1B in cash for debt repayment, strengthening COLD's balance sheet. COLD maintained AFFO guidance of $1.20–$1.30/share for 2026, with a 5.76% dividend yield and a 73.6% payout ratio, although the recent EQT deal can change the guidance.

Americold Realty Trust gets its hold rating reaffirmed again. Strengths include price return, global scale as a leading cold-storage REIT, an investment grade from Fitch, and dividend safety. The REIT recently announced a new facility opening in Canada.
