My Notes

• "Our focus on urban logistics is paying off as demand continues to outpace supply."
• Moat: Nexus's focus on urban infill locations provides a durable competitive advantage due to limited available land and high demand.
• value - investors may be drawn to Nexus for its low price-to-book ratio (0.7x), indicating potential undervaluation.
• Rising interest rates can increase financing costs for Nexus and make REITs less attractive compared to fixed-income investments…
• Watch on earnings: Industrial production index (INDPRO), Average rental rates in urban industrial markets, Occupancy rates across the portfolio.
