iStar: Why I Am Not Buying Just Yet

The company has successfully reinvented itself to a diversified REIT with a new concept on the market: the ground leases. The management has had an impeccable dividend history since 2018 combined with impressive growth but with a disappointing yield of just 2.27%. STAR is fairly valued with over 25% short interest.

iStar: The REIT Innovator Poised For Future Growth

The majority of iStar's portfolio is its company Safehold, which is a pioneer in the modern ground lease industry and is poised to continue its exponential growth in the coming years. The stock has rapidly grown over the past year by 128.62% as of November 2nd, 2021. The company smashed Q3 2021 earnings predictions of $0.51 per share by posting earnings of $1.76 per share, continuing a positive trend of surpassing earnings expectations. Though the majority of the company’s portfolio is Safehold, it still maintains a diversified portfolio that mitigates risk. The positive outlook for Safehold means that investors will take a bullish approach to the REIT as well.

Why I Tripled Down On iStar

iStar has more than doubled in value over the past year. Even then, it remains deeply discounted due to the rapid growth of its ground lease venture. It could be the (insert successful tech company name) of the REIT industry and priced at just around half of its NAV, the shares are still a steal.
