Innovative Industrial has grabbed much attention in the past as it combines the high growth potential of the cannabis industry with the stability of the real estate market. In this article, we'll delve into IIPR's performance in recent quarters and analyze the factors that may have contributed to its third-quarter 2023 results.
Factors at Play
Regulatory shifts in the cannabis sector and the growing acceptance of cannabis for medical and recreational purposes are anticipated to have a positive impact on IIPR's performance in the third quarter of 2023.
The acquisition and leasing of new properties and additional building infrastructure allowances provided to tenants at certain properties that resulted in increases in the base rent, tenant reimbursements and contractual rental escalations at certain properties are likely to have benefited Innovative Industrial.
However, continued inflation in input and labor costs is likely to have affected expenses in the quarter under consideration. This, along with pressure on pricing, is likely to have hampered profitability to some extent.
Projections for Q3 2023
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $75.6 million. The figure suggests a rise of 6.7% year over year.
Innovative Industrial Properties’ activities during the quarter in discussion were inadequate to gain analysts’ confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third-quarter FFO per share has remained unrevised at $2.19 in the past month. It suggests a 2.8% increase year over year.
