Analysts do not expect the real estate investment trust to grow rapidly in the quarter, due to Innovative's extensive acquisition activity during the period.
For context, Innovative Industrial Properties owned 11 properties in the United States at the conclusion of the year-ago quarter, but at the end of Q4 2019, it owned as many as 44 properties. In the previous quarter, the company managed to generate $11.2 million in rental revenue, which reflected a rise of as much as 201% year-on-year.
The company’s earnings per share soared to $0.55 per share and made up a jump of as much as 162% year-on-year. Such a jump is not expected in the fourth quarter due to acquisition activities, but investors will be watching the proceedings closely. A conference call is going to be hosted by the company on February 27.
