The Sila Realty Trust Thesis: The company has a high-quality portfolio, good external growth profile, and strong balance sheet, Lewis said in the initiation note.

“SILA earned 37% of 2Q24 annualized base rent (ABR) from medical outpatient buildings, 34% from inpatient rehabilitation facilities and 29% from surgical & specialty facilities, providing a diversified healthcare real estate portfolio within a triple-net lease structure,” the analyst wrote. “The portfolio offers very high occupancy, long lease term, strong rent coverage, and most tenants with rated credit,” he added.

“SILA has the lowest financial leverage in our coverage universe, an improving cost of capital, and a relatively small size, which we think provides an attractive external growth opportunity,” Lewis stated.
