Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIP) (NYSE: IIPR) released results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2020, after the market close on Wednesday. The stock was pulling back in pre-market trading by over 6% to sell near $206 as investors were disappointed with the earnings. Innovative Industrial delivered a fourth-quarter FFO of $1.36 missed by $0.07 and the revenue of $37.09 million missed by $1.41 million despite increasing by 110%.

Seven analysts cover the stock with five giving the company a buy rating and two at a hold rating. the average price target is $207 and the stock had been selling for around $220. The 52-week high is $220, so the selling may be related to just some simple profit-taking.

The net income was approximately $21.0 million for the quarter, or $0.91 per diluted share, and AFFO of approximately $32.4 million, or $1.29 per diluted share.

Renters Are Paying
