Market sentiment

Sentiment has clearly improved on raised guidance, the investment-grade rating, and strong investment momentum; recurring concerns remain around dilution and execution risk from rapid expansion (including the UK).

Why BUY?

Raised guidance, very low leverage, and an investment-grade rating improve the risk-adjusted growth profile and lower the cost of capital, supporting a more constructive stance. The key offset is that a meaningful portion of growth is equity-funded (ATM), which can cap per-share upside if acquisitions/integration underdeliver.

ADD in smaller tranches/on weakness; monitor equity dilution (ATM pace), integration of acquired portfolios, and progress in the UK-heavy pipeline.
