National Retail posts outstanding 3rd quarter

1970-71 era

First of all, today is Veterans Day. So if you know a military veteran or see someone in a uniform, take a moment to say ‘Thank you.’

National Retail Properties (NNN) reported
a 59.3% jump in third-quarter profit, as well as a 27.6% increase in revenue.

The REIT posted a net income of $33.3 million, or 30 cents per share, for the period ending September 30. That compared with net income of $20.9 million, or 24 cents per share, in the previous-year period

Revenue was $85 million for the third quarter … a huge jump from $66.6 million in the year-earlier period.

Here’s one more figure that got my attention: National’s portfolio had a 97.9% occupancy rate as of September 30, which compared with 97.4% as of December 31, 2011, and 97.2% as of September 30, 2011. This tells me that this REIT’s profits should continue to grow throughout 2013.

The REITs in the e-FinancialWriter portfolio are up 32.95% since inception, not including dividends.

Effective tomorrow, Monday November 12, I am removing the INVRLPRA:CN fund. It has not met expectations. Right now, there are better opportunities for income and growth in the residential rental REIT sector.

Enjoy your weekend!
