Easterly Government Properties: I Like The Stability Of The Business But Not The Dividend Cut

  • Easterly Government Properties offers unique stability with 98% of tenants as U.S. government agencies and long-term contracts, but faces limited rent growth. The business model creates a strong moat, yet makes properties hard to repurpose or sell, increasing operational stickiness. Rising interest expenses and a recent 32% dividend cut, though justified, undermine confidence in the stock's income reliability.
