This Top-Shelf 4.9%-Yielding REIT Is A Strong Buy

This company makes an excellent value proposition. The REIT has an extremely strong lease portfolio. Low AFFO payout ratio implies very high margin of dividend safety. The REIT's shares aren't cheap, but above-average dividend growth justifies the price tag. An investment in the stock comes with an entry yield of 4.9 percent. Yield on cost is poised to rise over time.

STORE Capital Corp. (STOR) is a top-shelf REIT with potential to grow its dividend at a fast clip. The real estate investment trust grows funds from operations organically and with acquisitions, and STORE Capital’s growing cash flow more than covers its dividend payout. STORE Capital compares very favorably against other REITs in the sector in terms of portfolio stats. STORE Capital is one of my top income bets in the commercial REIT sector, long term.
