ROIC Stock Recent News

It's no secret that the retail sector is now one of the most forgotten areas of the market, whether it is because artificial intelligence (AI) names have taken the bulk of the attention—and capital—in the entire industry, or whether ongoing trade tariff negotiations have pushed investors away from this space in fear of further volatility and uncertainty.

Most REITs have surged due to interest rate cuts. But many REITs missed out on this rally and remain undervalued. I present 3 of my Top Picks for 2025.

Steel Dynamics has compounded NOPAT by 19% annually since 2019, with ROIC rising from 11.96% to 15.15%, showcasing strong profitability and management alignment with shareholder interests. The firm has consistently earned economic profits, totaling $8.7 billion since 2019, by maintaining a ROIC greater than its WACC. Despite its profitability, STLD is priced for a 3% permanent decline in NOPAT, presenting a value investment opportunity.

ROIC's portfolio shows strong demand and high occupancy but the REIT has experienced a deceleration in growth and FFO declines. Despite a solid balance sheet and diversified tenant base, the stock's current price is inflated due to an acquisition rumor. Given the mediocre performance, low yield, and high price level, I think holding off on buying ROIC until the prospect of an acquisition is resolved is most wise.

Retail Opportunity Investments (ROIC) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.25 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.26 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.27 per share a year ago.
