Americold Realty Vs. Lineage: It's A Cold World
Cold storage is a complex, capital-intensive real estate niche with strong long-term demand, but recent oversupply and market headwinds have pressured REIT valuations. COLD and LINE are the two largest cold storage REITs, with COLD offering a more traditional, conservative business model and LINE focusing on tech-driven, aggressive growth. Despite both facing industry challenges, COLD's established portfolio, conservative expansion, and higher dividend yield make it more appealing compared to LINE's premium valuation and riskier strategy.

Americold Realty: Warming Up To This Unique REIT
Americold's unique, hard-to-replicate cold storage portfolio positions it well for long-term structural growth in food and logistics trends. Recent overexpansion has led to excess capacity and near-term financial headwinds, but I expect this will be absorbed over time. Tariff risks have pressured shares and guidance, yet current valuations (11.5x Fwd P/AFFO) offer a significant discount to the sector.
