W.P. Carey (WPC) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

Discover the five rules I use to find stocks that are positioned to potentially pay me growing dividend income for life. I share some of my top dividend machines that are core to my effort to retire on dividend income. I share how I use these picks to build a complete portfolio.

I aim to achieve financial independence through passive income. My strategy is to expand my income streams until they cover my basic living expenses.

W. P. Carey has successfully shifted its portfolio to focus on industrial and warehouse properties, enhancing growth prospects and resiliency. WPC's net lease REIT model and diversified tenant base support high cash flow margins and strong same-store rent growth. Despite elevated capital recycling and leverage, WPC maintains consistent AFFO growth and a generous 5.4% dividend yield, with upside potential as rates fall.

Markets often rally in anticipation of rate cuts but then decline when those cuts are implemented.

REITs are historically cheap. Even blue chips like Realty Income Corporation and W. P. Carey Inc. are discounted. Which is the better opportunity? I compare both and share my thoughts.

WPC boosts its dividend again, signaling confidence in its resilient portfolio, strong liquidity and stable rental income.
