The offering is likely to be well-received given the strong Q1 beat, raised guidance, and accretive use of proceeds for high-yield acquisitions (8.9% yields). Monitor settlement of forward sales over the next year and continued pipeline execution. The stock may experience modest near-term pressure from the offering overhang, but the fundamental story remains positive.
