REXR

Rexford Industrial Realty Trust remains a hold despite improved valuation and a near 5% dividend yield due to ongoing SoCal market headwinds and lack of growth. Q2 results showed another double-beat and a second consecutive core FFO guidance raise, but projected growth remains under 1% year-over-year. Management is aggressively recycling capital, raising disposition guidance to $1.5–$2 billion and prioritizing debt reduction and opportunistic share buybacks.

REXR earns a Buy rating as management navigates a challenging Southern California industrial market with prudent balance sheet actions. REXR is executing a major strategic overhaul, raising its 2024 asset disposition target to $2 billion and launching a $1 billion share repurchase program. Despite headline GAAP losses from asset sales, REXR maintains stable cash flow and conservative leverage, prioritizing debt repayment and equity buybacks over growth.

REITs snapped a 3-month winning streak with a -0.49% average total return in July. Mid-cap (+2.12%) and large-cap REITs (+1.48%) continued to perform well, but small caps (-0.81%) and especially micro caps (-9.49%) struggled. 59.06% of REIT securities had a positive total return in July.
