John Kim has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Postal Realty’s current financial standing and future outlook. The company reported a strong performance in the first quarter of 2025, with a notable 28% year-over-year growth in AFFOps, surpassing expectations. However, the guidance for the remainder of the year suggests a slowdown in growth, which tempers the enthusiasm from the initial results.
Despite solid acquisitions in the first quarter and a promising pipeline for the second quarter, Postal Realty faces constraints in equity capital, trading at a high implied cap rate. While the company has successfully negotiated new leases with the USPS, including favorable terms, the maintained guidance for 2025 AFFOps is slightly below market expectations, indicating modest growth. These mixed signals contribute to the Hold rating, as they suggest stability but limited upside potential in the near term.
In another report released yesterday, Truist Financial also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $15.00 price target.
