The stock may face near-term pressure from declining core revenue and 2026 AFFO guidance being below 2025's $0.99, despite improved balance sheet metrics. Monitor the success of capital recycling from office to industrial assets and whether the investment-grade rating leads to lower borrowing costs. The 8.8% dividend yield appears sustainable based on AFFO coverage.

Segment Breakdown
| Segment | Revenue |
|---|---|
| Industrial Distribution | $56.0M |
| Retail | $30.2M |
| Office | $30.8M |
Risk Factors
- Revenue decline of 15% YoY indicates ongoing portfolio shrinkage from asset sales
- 2026 AFFO guidance of $0.80-$0.84 represents a 19-20% decrease from 2025's $0.99 per share
- Continued office asset disposals may pressure future earnings if redeployment is delayed or yields are lower
- High dividend yield of 8.8% needs to be monitored for sustainability if AFFO continues to decline
