Piper Sandler reiterates Overweight on Terreno Realty stock at $85

Piper Sandler has reaffirmed its Overweight rating and $85.00 price target for Terreno Realty Corp (NYSE:TRNO) shares, indicating a 28% upside potential from the current trading price of $66.53. Over the past year, the stock has generated a 16.2% return. The firm recently convened a management meeting with institutional investors.

The recovery of last year's last mile warehouse sector, delayed by the Liberation Day disruption, is expanding, driven by aerospace and defense submarkets on the West Coast. New York City remains a key market, benefiting from high density and driving up prices. With interest rate volatility causing a slowdown in late summer, sellers are re-engaging nationally, and Terreno Realty's cost of capital advantage is facilitating more deals.

Management anticipates stable GDP and limited supply, leading them to favor rent growth over occupancy through 2027, except in areas east of the 405 in Los Angeles and Downtown Seattle/Kent Valley. InvestingPro data highlights 13 consecutive years of dividend increases, resulting in a current yield of 3.43%.
