Lineage:
-
Provides temperature-controlled warehousing and integrated cold-chain logistics solutions through its Global Warehousing and Global Integrated Solutions segments.
-
Operates a real estate investment trust (REIT) business model, generating revenue from leasing industrial properties and offering specialized cold-chain services.
-
Serves food producers, distributors, and retailers requiring reliable temperature-controlled storage and supply chain management.
Lineage is a leading REIT focused on temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics, with a significant presence in the industrial real estate sector.
The company leverages scale and integrated solutions to address complex cold-chain requirements for major food and retail clients. Its strategic positioning in the supply chain supports consistent demand for its specialized services.
Pennington Partners’ initial purchase of Lineage is noteworthy to investors for several reasons.
First, the cold storage REIT immediately becomes Pennington’s largest stock holding — even though it only equals 1.4% of AUM. Only the firm’s broader ETF holdings are larger than Lineage’s position.
Second, transitioning from not owning the company to making it the firm’s largest individual stock position is a clear indication that Pennington genuinely likes the newly public company. After Lineage went public in 2024 at around $80 per share, the firm is opportunistically “buying the dip” on the REIT following its 50% drop — and I think they may be right in doing so.
Lastly — and from a Foolish perspective — there’s a lot to like about Lineage for the long haul.
The company is a leader in its temperature-controlled warehousing and cold-storage logistics niche, operating in an industry that is expected to grow in importance over time.
While the REIT’s net income remains negative, it has generated $884 million in cash from operations and $1.1 billion in EBITDA over the last year. Compared to its enterprise value of $17 billion, Lineage isn’t outrageously priced after its hefty drawdown — especially considering its essential offerings.
Furthermore, if Lineage wasn’t investing heavily on capital expenditures to build out its vast logistical network, it would be generating ample free cash flow.
Though the company’s 6.3% dividend yield is a bit at risk unless the company reins in its capex spending and its debt, its future should remain bright regardless, and I like Pennington’s purchase here if they hold for the long term.
