Primary Risk:

Geographic Concentration in Southern California.
However, this could turn into an advantage as challenges in navigating the Panama Canal may lead to higher cargo volumes through these ports, increasing demand for warehouse space.

Dividend Yield:

4.4% – While not exceptionally high, the potential for capital gains is significant. Analysts estimate the fair price of the stock to be around $50.
