IVT: Sunbelt Retail Is Getting Pricey, But Here's My 'Buy Price'

InvenTrust Properties (IVT) remains my top retail REIT, benefiting from Sunbelt focus, grocery-anchored assets, and best-in-class organic growth. IVT's strong balance sheet, low leverage, and minimal near-term debt maturities support its cost of capital advantage and portfolio expansion. Recent portfolio rotation out of Southern California into core Sunbelt markets should drive superior rent and population growth prospects.
