FR Stock Recent News

I maintain my buy rating on First Industrial Realty, supported by strong earnings, resilient financials, and impressive long-term dividend growth. FR's industrial-focused portfolio, blue-chip tenants, and consistent AFFO growth position it well despite current market headwinds. Interest rate uncertainty and potential tariff impacts have suppressed FR's share price, but future rate cuts could unlock significant upside.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record-highs this week after a critical slate of inflation data showed that tariff-driven inflation remains muted, while rumors of a potential Powell termination swirled. Supported by data this week showing that core inflation cooled to its slowest pace in over three years, the White House reignited the heat on the head of the Fed. Rebounding from modest declines last week, the S&P 500 advanced 0.6%, notching record highs in three of the past four weeks following a five-month drought.

This year's wild macro backdrop pushed me to write longer, deeper articles. So today I'm sharing two new under-the-radar dividend gems I discovered. Both stocks align with my long-term macro views and offer a powerful combo of income, growth, and secular tailwinds, yet most investors likely don't know them. They're cheap, compelling, and on my watchlist, not yet in my portfolio, but I'm bullish. These picks could surprise many who are only chasing the usual names.

First Industrial Realty faces near-term headwinds from tariff uncertainty, especially on the West Coast, but long-term fundamentals remain solid. Demand is tepid due to trade policy paralysis, yet supply constraints and a strong balance sheet support occupancy and pricing power. Despite recent FFO and dividend outperformance, shares are down, creating an attractive entry point given ongoing cash flow strength.
