Featured Cannabis Stock Pick for 2020: Innovative Industrial Properties
Innovative Industrial Properties was recommended earlier by our analysts as a great cannabis investment as it is considered a cannabis stock parallel. As mentioned previously, the company is not a producer or cultivator of cannabis and does not directly handle the cannabis plant in any way whatsoever. Instead, the company receives income through lease agreements with cannabis company operators who utilize Innovative Industrial Properties’ locations to cultivate cannabis or produce cannabis products. Recently, we recommended Innovative Industrial Properties because of its long-term lease agreement revenues, expansion with real estate property acquisitions, strong year-over-year growth, a new Florida property acquisition and long-term lease agreement, and now the company has announced the first quarter dividend for 2020. But what does the first quarter 2020 dividend declaration have to do with the stock being a cannabis stock pick for 2020?
Dividends are a great way for investors to generate gains based on the number of shares that they are holding over a long period of time. Investors receive a dividend payout on a quarterly basis, four times annually per share. Those who purchase a share of Innovative Industrial Properties before market close on March 31st will receive the dividend payout for Q1 of 2020. The dividend payout amount is a great way to gauge a company’s success if it has increased the payout amount and, in this case, Innovative Industrial Properties has increased its dividend significantly.
Innovative Industrial Properties, which is the first and only real estate company currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, announced that its board of directors declared its first-quarter dividend for 2020.
