Daily Stock Pick: June 3rd, 2021

Stocks trailed lower in early trading this morning with weakness in stocks tied to the economic reopening.  Meme stocks are in the spotlight once again and AMC Entertainment is front and center.  The stock has gained over 200% this week alone and is up more than 3,000% so far this year.  There’s no telling where AMC share price will go, but we’ve got our popcorn ready.  

Even as some of the pandemic trends are starting to reverse, tech and growth companies have continued to post stellar earnings results.  However, the biggest positive earnings surprises in Q1 results came from cyclical-sectors and value-style investments.

Cyclical companies stand to benefit more from the pickup in economic activity because they are very sensitive to economic growth.  With the U.S. projected to experience the fastest GDP growth this year since 1984, the case for growth stocks that carry high valuations becomes less compelling in the near term.    

Our trade alert for today focuses on a value-style investment that offers a powerful combination of growth and income. Read on to learn more.

Jeff Bezos Just Poured $10 Billion Into This…

Not many people know this story… But in 1998, Bezos invested $250,000 of his own money in Google, when the company was just getting started out of a garage in California. When Google went public in 2004, that $250,000 investment translated into 3.3 million shares of Google stock. Nobody knows if Bezos has sold any shares. If he hasn’t, today they’re worth more than $5.6 billion.Jeff Bezos is betting big on a new trend. This time he’s planning to invest $10 billion of his own money in this exciting new trend. That’s 40,000 times more money than what he invested in Google. That’s how big he thinks this could be. [Full Story…]

STAG Industrial, Inc. (STAG) is a real estate investment trust focused on acquisition and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout  the U.S..  The company currently owns 494 properties with 99.1 million square feet of space.  

STAG is active across all aspects of the industrial real estate market, including owning light manufacturing properties and flex/office space.  Because these properties are essential to their tenants, STAG was able to collect nearly all the rent billed last year.  Flex/office space is a market estimated at $1 trillion of properties in the U.S. alone.  With just 0.5% share of that market, STAG has plenty of room to grow.  

STAG’s portfolio is continually expanding through acquisition.  It will often purchase value-add properties and leverage its substantial leasing and redevelopment experience to increase shareholder value  Over the next five years, it plans to spend $800 million to $1.2 billion on property purchases.   

Thanks to this acquisition strategy, the company’s payout has been slowly but steadily increasing. Given the REIT’s aim to invest billions in expanding its portfolio over the next five years, that trend should continue.   The stock sports a hefty, 4% yield, which is paid out monthly, making it even more attractive to income-seeking investors.  

STAG has developed an investment strategy that helps investors find a powerful balance of income plus growth.  That income with upside makes them a great high-yield REIT to consider adding to your portfolio.
