We had rated Rexford Industrial Realty Inc. with a hold as the FFO growth was due to come in. The stock tanked on the earnings release. We go over what went wrong and where you should look to buy this.

Rexford Industrial remains a solid long-term investment despite high valuation, with a conservative price target of $80/share based on strong fundamentals and low leverage. Key risks include rising vacancy rates and declining market rent growth, but the company's favorable supply/demand situation and liquidity mitigate these concerns. At 27x P/AFFO, REXR is highly valued but offers potential 19-20% annualized returns with double-digit growth, making it a compelling "BUY".
