Positive Momentum Ahead for STAG, According to Jefferies
With earnings season mostly wrapped up, Jefferies has pointed to a few standout companies that appear well-positioned for the road ahead. Among those is STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE:STAG), which the firm recently highlighted as one of several buy-rated stocks that beat earnings expectations and offered strong guidance.
STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE:STAG) currently offers a dividend yield of 4.21% and has risen by over 7.5% so far this year. The real estate investment trust owns a broad mix of industrial real estate, including warehouses and light manufacturing properties.
Based on Tuesday's closing price, Jefferies believes the stock has about 29% upside to its $45 price target. In the first quarter, STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE:STAG) reported core funds from operations of $0.61 per share, slightly ahead of the $0.60 estimate from FactSet. Revenue reached $205.6 million, also beating the analyst consensus of $201.1 million. Analyst Jonathan Petersen noted a 27.3% increase in cash-leasing spreads, which measure the difference in rent from new and renewed leases compared to those that expired. He made the following comment:
"We expect leasing spreads will continue to trend positively vs coastal peers over the next few years driven by demand related to onshoring of manufacturing and supply chain reconfiguration."
STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE:STAG) is a solid dividend payer that offers monthly dividends to shareholders. The company has kept its dividend steady since 2011.
While we acknowledge the potential of STAG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some deeply undervalued dividend stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for a deeply undervalued dividend stock that is more promising than STAG but that trades at 10 times its earnings and grows its earnings at double digit rates annually, check out our report about the .

McDonald's Faces Rare Sell Rating as Inflation, Drug Trends Hit Traffic
McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) took a hit Tuesday after Redburn Atlantic downgraded the fast-food giant to Sell its only such rating on the stock. The firm also slashed its price target to $260, about 15% below Monday's close, sending shares briefly below $300 during the session. The call marks a two-notch downgrade from a previous Buy rating, and it reflects deeper concerns about changing customer habits, rising inflation, and the growing impact of weight-loss drugs. Redburn analyst Chris Luyckx said medications like Ozempic could shave $428 million off McDonald's annual system sales roughly 1% and that impact may grow. Meanwhile, the U.S. business is already under pressure: same-store sales dropped 3.6% in Q1, the biggest slide since 2020, and fast-food traffic has declined in 40 of the past 43 months. Even with higher prices and larger average orders, McDonald's may be pricing out its lower-income customer base. Luyckx argued that while the chain typically performs well during downturns, recent price hikes could be damaging its long-held image as an affordable option. Despite the concerns, McDonald's stock is still up 5% this year. But the analyst warned that growth could stall unless the company updates its menu and offers better value. The downgrade extends the stock's losing streak to six days, down from a high above $326 per share in mid-May. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Owens & Minor and Rotech Healthcare Mutually Agree to Terminate Previously Announced Acquisition
RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE: OMI) today announced it has mutually agreed with Rotech Healthcare Holdings Inc. to terminate the previously announced acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Owens & Minor has paid $80 million to Rotech Healthcare. Owens & Minor will also redeem the $1 billion of notes issued in April 2025, which include a special mandatory redemption provision in accordance with their terms, and terminate the incremental term loan commitments and senior unsecured bridge loan commitments provided by our lenders which would have been utilized to consummate the acquisition. 'For many months, our teammates, along with the Rotech team, have worked tirelessly in cooperation with the Federal Trade Commission to close this transaction, and while we believe there would have been ample benefits to patients, payors, and providers by adding Rotech to our Patient Direct business, the path to obtain regulatory clearance for this merger proved unviable in terms of time, expense, and opportunity,' said Edward A. Pesicka, President & Chief Executive Officer of Owens & Minor. 'We are confident in our strategy and will continue to focus our efforts on growing our Patient Direct business while remaining committed to strengthening our balance sheet through the use of improved cash flow generation for deleveraging. The home-based care market is a dynamic, growing market, and we are extremely well positioned to help those with chronic conditions get the care and service they need and deserve. Also, we continue to work with a number of interested parties around the potential sale of our Products and Healthcare Services business, and, in the meantime, we will continue to actively work to strengthen that business and tap into its significant upside'. 'I want to thank our teammates, partners and everyone at Rotech for their effort and cooperation over the last several months, and we look forward to a bright future with many years of profitable growth,' Pesicka concluded.
