W.P. Carey: Despite Strength, The REIT Remains Mediocre

  • W.P. Carey remains a solid REIT with growth initiatives and a 5.84% yield, but I remain cautious. Despite revenue and property growth, valuation remains only fair, with shares not cheap enough to warrant a bullish rating. Relative to peers, W.P. Carey has higher leverage and a lower yield, making its premium valuation difficult to justify.
