Here is what Rhizome Partners said:
“Griffin reported a 12% increase in NOI during Q2 2020 versus Q2 2019. The company recently raised $27.2mm of equity at $50 per share with some warrants and contingent value rights mixed in. While the equity raise was done at a discount to net asset value, it is an important first step towards building an institutional shareholder base. Years ago, we would have balked at such a transaction. Given the long‐term structural tailwind of e‐commerce, we believe that Griffin could potentially become an exciting growth story.”
