On Monday, Truist Securities increased its price target for Sila Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: SILA) stock, moving it to $28 from the previous $27, while keeping a Buy rating on the shares. The adjustment comes as the analyst believes the company is in a strong position despite economic uncertainties. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week high of $26.75, has demonstrated strong momentum with a 26.68% return over the past year.
Sila Realty Trust, a triple-net healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), is recognized for its solid financial metrics, including a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.3 times. The REIT has no debt maturities until 2027, boasts a high occupancy rate of 96%, and faces minimal lease expirations in 2025, with less than 11% of its total leases expiring over the next four years. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.19 and an impressive gross profit margin of 87.62%, while offering an attractive dividend yield of 6.23%.
The analyst noted that Sila Realty Trust’s stock has outperformed the broader real estate sector, citing a year-to-date increase of 6% compared to just 1% for the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ). The potential resolution of the Stoughton facility issue is seen as a possible modest positive catalyst for the stock. Additionally, the anticipated inclusion in the Russell 2000 index could further support the positive outlook.
