Thesis Summary

STAG Industrial, Inc. operates as a pure-play industrial REIT focused on single-tenant industrial properties across the United States. The company is positioned to benefit from steady organic growth driven by mark-to-market lease roll-ups (3% to 5% organic growth) and a robust balance sheet with low leverage (5.0x Net Debt to EBITDAre). However, near-term performance is balanced by significant national industrial supply headwinds, with approximately 180 million square feet of deliveries expected in 2026. This supply wave is likely to keep occupancy stable but limit aggressive rent growth, justifying a Hold recommendation at current valuation levels.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$40.0015%

Elevated industrial supply deliveries lead to a decline in tenant retention rates, forcing higher downtime and leasing concessions. Slower economic activity dampens warehouse demand, compressing NOI growth below 3.0%.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$42.0860%
Matches the consensus mean

Core FFO grows at a moderate pace of 2.7% to 4.0% in 2026, supported by Same Store Cash NOI growth of ~3.5% to 4.1% and stable operating occupancy of 96.0%. The stock trades in line with its historical multiples and consensus NAV.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$46.0025%

Accelerated acquisition activity driven by stabilizing capital markets and potential interest rate cuts, combined with stronger-than-expected lease roll-ups and development yields, leading to upward revisions in Core FFO guidance.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
