If so, you're in good company.

Not only does it have the fourth-highest yield of all 46 stocks in the portfolio, but Berkshire's position of more than $800 million gives Buffett's company a big 9% holding in the company.

As a retail REIT, Store Capital owns and leases retail properties, specifically those operated by single tenants.</p>\n<p>But uniqueness in a portfolio and obvious affection from the investing master are not sufficient reasons for us to put money into a stock (plus, we should remember that Buffett has had his share of misfires -- for example, with troubled food giant <b>Kraft Heinz</b>).&nbsp;So let's explore whether or not Store Capital is a worthy buy for the average investor.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8151e4a9b31770a27bc464b895522228\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>Buffett has always been drawn to companies with straightforward business models and reliable growth. Store Capital certainly ticks those boxes; in the pre-pandemic days, it did a fine job of increasing its revenue. In fact, it managed to nearly double its top line from 2016 to 2019, from just over $376 million to nearly $700 million. Adjusted funds from operations (or AFFO, the most meaningful profitability metric for REITs) leaped even higher, rising from $246 million in 2016 to $463 million in 2019.</p>\n<p>REITs are obligated to spend the vast bulk of their net profits on shareholder remuneration, which is why their dividends tend to be generous relative to other types of companies.</p>\n<p>Store Capital is no different, and thanks to that rising AFFO and bottom line, there always seems to be room for an increase. The REIT has boosted its quarterly dividend at least once annually since going public in late 2014. Across that not-quite-seven year stretch the payout has ballooned from slightly over $0.11 per share to the present level of $0.36.</p>\n<p>The coronavirus pandemic crashed hard into the retail sector, leading to store closures and a general reluctance among customers to leave their homes to shop. That would have been devastating for Store Capital had it not been so widely diversified. The company has properties in 49 states, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of which (Texas) comprises over 10% of the total dollar amount of that portfolio. The REIT is even more assertive in hedging its tenant list; no single renter is responsible for more than 3% of the total.</p>\n<p>As a result, compared to many other retail REITs (and the retail industry in general), Store Capital has done a good job threading its way through the pandemic. As the coronavirus spread last year, the company pulled back sharply on its typically busy acquisition activity, reducing its buys to a total of just over $800 million, down from $1.69 billion in 2019 and $1.63 billion in 2018.</p>\n<p>Still, $800 million is a big pile for asset buys. So that curtailed-yet-still-vibrant investment activity, combined with Store Capital's standard rent increases, helped the company actually grow its revenue for the year (it was up by over 4% compared to 2019). AFFO inched up by slightly more than 1% -- a pretty small number, but hey, in that environment any growth at all was an impressive feat.</p>\n<h3>Open doors and open wallets</h3>\n<p>So it stands to reason that as the coronavirus (hopefully) starts to recede in a big way as the threat of the delta variant decreases, Store Capital will be in a position to really rack it up. In announcing its second-quarter results in August, the company lifted its AFFO guidance for the full year to $1.94 to $1.97 per share from the previous $1.90-to-$1.96 range. If realized, this would be a meaningful improvement over 2020's $1.83.</p>\n<p>I think Store Capital's new forecast is still conservative. With recent large-scale vaccination mandates dealing hard blows to the coronavirus, even more people will escape their homes for bouts of shopping, to the point where crowds will be the rule and not the exception.</p>\n<p>When this happens, this REIT will start putting up some powerful growth numbers. Store Capital more than held its own during the pandemic; imagine how well it'll do in a much healthier and freer environment.</p>\n<p>We can also easily envision the company maintaining its dividend raise habit as we return to something approaching normal life.

The first wave of th","content":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted hospital revenues in the United States. The first wave of the pandemic hit Americans hard and people got infected on a massive scale. The scenario compelled hospitals to suspend non-emergency procedures and treat numerous cases of coronavirus infections. Pandemic-induced lockdowns compunded the miseries further as supply chains got disrupted, which led to hospitals incurring huge amount of costs for obtaining personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and specific medical supplies required for COVID-19 treatment. This, in turn, put pressure on margins of most healthcare systems.</p>\n<p>However, following the dismal period, hospitals seem to be on a gradual path of recovery. This is evident from growing revenues, admissions, widespread vaccination programs, constant acquisitions and mergers, and constant technological advancements. Besides, funds offered through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or the CARES Act have been contributing to the recovery. Although woes related to delay in vaccine supply and distribution, and new variants of the virus linger, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to aid the hospitals’ performance in the second half of 2021.</p>\n<h3>Growth in Patient Volumes</h3>\n<p>After bearing the brunt of the pandemic, revenues of several hospitals are bouncing back. The top-line recovery can primarily be attributed to surge in admissions and outpatient visits. With widespread vaccination programs, individuals, who were previously apprehensive of primary care and other specialty care visits in fears of contracting COVID-19, have become more optimistic regarding hospital visits. As stated in the Kaufman Hall report, the hospitals and health systems are expected to witness continued margin improvement, volume increases and revenue growth in the days ahead compared to significant losses incurred in the initial months of COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\n<h3>Pursuing M&amp;A Strategy</h3>\n<p>Hospitals have been intensifying focus on mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A), which have added facilities and beds to their network, boosted business scale and expanded geographical presence. The primary aim behind these deals is to enhance the quality of care and bring about diversification benefits, which is crucial to strengthening <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>’s market position.</p>\n<p>The M&amp;A deals suffered a blow due to the pandemic-induced volatilities and several such deals were put on hold. Nevertheless, extensive vaccinations and gradual recovery of the global economy will increase companies’ spending capabilities. This, in turn, will pave the way for more deals particularly in healthcare-related businesses, as stated in the Healthcare Innovation website. Statement of M&amp;A bankers at&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MS\">Morgan Stanley</a>, “All the elements are there for an active M&amp;A market in 2021”, further reinforces a busy M&amp;A market this year.</p>\n<h3>Continuous Technology Upgradations</h3>\n<p>Most hospitals undertook significant investments in developing virtual solutions aimed at catering to patient needs without the need of a hospital visit. The importance of telehealth services gained prominence amid the dismal period as it seemed to be the only feasible option to seek minimum help from home while minimizing infection risks. Per Fitch Ratings, healthcare providers are expected to benefit from growing adoption of telehealth services. These services have generated a steady revenue stream for hospitals, which have been grappling with revenue losses due to deferred elective or suspended non-COVID-19 procedures.</p>\n<h3>Will the Momentum Stay?</h3>\n<p>We believe that the future prospects of the hospital industry are bright despite several challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>The overall bullish scenario makes us optimistic regarding consistent growth in the hospital industry, which should boost prospects of companies with sound business fundamentals.

The partnership structure had kept their billionaire founders in control but meant their stocks couldn’t be included in indexes, and shareholders had to endure extra tax requirements to own them.</p>\n<p>The firms’ shares have been added to several indexes, and the S&amp;P 500 could be next.</p>\n<p>“By being publicly traded partnerships, we created stocks that were difficult to own,” said Blackstone President Jonathan Gray. Becoming corporations meant “creating liquidity and a broader universe to buy these stocks,” he said.</p>\n<p>The firms also ditched “economic net income,” a profit metric they had created for their public-market debuts that ended up being volatile and difficult to understand. They began to emphasize figures that matter more to public investors, including the amount of earnings that can be returned in the form of dividends and profit tied to management fees, which are more predictable than performance-related income.</p>\n<p>KKR earlier this year said it was tying employee compensation more closely to performance fees, enabling more of the management-fee stream to flow to public investors.</p>\n<p>“What the markets want are sticky, consistent fee streams that are recurring in nature with high re-up rates,” said Morgan Stanley analyst Michael Cyprys, who has been covering the stocks for years.</p>\n<p>And all four firms have thrown themselves into raising so-called permanent or perpetual capital. It is money that doesn’t have to be returned or re-raised within a few years, as has historically been the norm with private-equity funds, and can keep churning out fees instead.</p>\n<p>The quest for such long-term capital has led them to develop platforms to manage assets for insurance companies and offer new products to individual investors.</p>\n<p>Long a leader in insurance, Apollo now gets more than $250 billion of its $471.8 billion in assets from insurance affiliatesAthene HoldingLtd.and Athora Holding Ltd. Apollo is solidifying the arrangement with a deal announced this year to buy the piece of Athene it doesn’t already own. Its rivals have all made recent movesaimed at catching up.</p>\n<p>Blackstone has led the charge on the industry’s other major permanent-capital front: individual investors. The firmhas been investing for yearsto create infrastructure to distribute and market products aimed at moderately wealthy individuals—a market it estimates is worth $80 trillion—and it has become clear in recent quarters that the effort is paying off in a big way.</p>\n<p>BREIT, the firm’s nontraded real-estate investment trust, and BCRED, a private-credit product likewise aimed at individual investors, have been raising a combined $4 billion in new capital each month, the firm said during its second-quarter earnings call last month.</p>\n<p>Blackstone’s peers are starting to follow suit. KKR in May rolled out a product to offer private real estate to individual investors. Apollo said Wednesday it is investing in its own retail distribution channel, with the goal of making individual investors a material piece of its third-party inflows in the next three-to-five years.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The partnership structure had kept their billionaire founders in control but meant their stocks couldn’t be included in indexes, and shareholders had to endure extra tax requirements to own them.\nThe firms’ shares have been added to several indexes, and the S&P 500 could be next.\n“By being publicly traded partnerships, we created stocks that were difficult to own,” said Blackstone President Jonathan Gray. Becoming corporations meant “creating liquidity and a broader universe to buy these stocks,” he said.\nThe firms also ditched “economic net income,” a profit metric they had created for their public-market debuts that ended up being volatile and difficult to understand. They began to emphasize figures that matter more to public investors, including the amount of earnings that can be returned in the form of dividends and profit tied to management fees, which are more predictable than performance-related income.\nKKR earlier this year said it was tying employee compensation more closely to performance fees, enabling more of the management-fee stream to flow to public investors.\n“What the markets want are sticky, consistent fee streams that are recurring in nature with high re-up rates,” said Morgan Stanley analyst Michael Cyprys, who has been covering the stocks for years.\nAnd all four firms have thrown themselves into raising so-called permanent or perpetual capital. It is money that doesn’t have to be returned or re-raised within a few years, as has historically been the norm with private-equity funds, and can keep churning out fees instead.\nThe quest for such long-term capital has led them to develop platforms to manage assets for insurance companies and offer new products to individual investors.\nLong a leader in insurance, Apollo now gets more than $250 billion of its $471.8 billion in assets from insurance affiliatesAthene HoldingLtd.and Athora Holding Ltd. Apollo is solidifying the arrangement with a deal announced this year to buy the piece of Athene it doesn’t already own. Its rivals have all made recent movesaimed at catching up.\nBlackstone has led the charge on the industry’s other major permanent-capital front: individual investors. The firmhas been investing for yearsto create infrastructure to distribute and market products aimed at moderately wealthy individuals—a market it estimates is worth $80 trillion—and it has become clear in recent quarters that the effort is paying off in a big way.\nBREIT, the firm’s nontraded real-estate investment trust, and BCRED, a private-credit product likewise aimed at individual investors, have been raising a combined $4 billion in new capital each month, the firm said during its second-quarter earnings call last month.\nBlackstone’s peers are starting to follow suit. KKR in May rolled out a product to offer private real estate to individual investors. Apollo said Wednesday it is investing in its own retail distribution channel, with the goal of making individual investors a material piece of its third-party inflows in the next three-to-five years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"following","isTTM":false}
