NEWTON, MA - Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (NASDAQ: ILPT), a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in distribution and logistics properties, has declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.01 per common share. Shareholders on record as of April 22, 2025, will receive the distribution on or about May 15, 2025. According to InvestingPro data, this represents a dividend yield of 1.34%, significantly below the company's 5-year average yield of 4%.
The company's portfolio, as of December 31, 2024, includes 411 properties with approximately 59.9 million rentable square feet across 39 states. A significant portion of ILPT's rental revenue, around 77%, is reportedly secured by investment-grade tenants or those linked to investment-grade entities, as well as Hawaii land leases. The company maintains a strong gross profit margin of 86%, though InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently trading at just 0.31 times book value, suggesting potential undervaluation.
