Context and risks
The rise in 10-year rates (5.17%) is a drag on the valuation of a REIT with Net Debt/EBITDA of 6.14, as it makes refinancing its debt more expensive and reduces the present value of its cash flows. The potential Fed rate cut is a mitigating factor, but the risk of high rates is dominant.

Verdict: Hold. The combination of high leverage and sensitivity to interest rates limits the upside potential in the short term, despite strong growth and the dividend.
Main risk: The high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 6.14) and exposure to 10-year interest rates, which make debt refinancing more expensive and pressure the REIT's valuation.
