New Lake Capital Partners (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLCP#OTC">NLCP</a>), a real estate company focused on cannabis properties, offers an attractive investment with a 9.1% dividend yield, well above the return on 10-year government bonds.
This yield, combined with a cautious approach to debt and disciplined portfolio growth, positions NLCP as an attractive alternative to other cannabis REITs like IIPR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IIPR#NYSE">IIPR</a>) and broader industrial REITs. Trading near par value, NLCP's conservative strategy highlights its potential for stable, long-term returns, as noted by Pablo Zuanic of <a href="https://zuanicgroup.com/">Zuanic &amp; Associates</a>.

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Attractive Valuation And Dividend Yield</h3>
One of NLCP's standout features is its 9.1% dividend yield, which is almost 500 basis points (bp) higher than 10-year Treasury bills—the benchmark for low-risk investments.&nbsp;
By comparison, IIPR offers a 6.7% dividend yield but trades at a 57% premium to book value, while NLCP trades at par, reflecting a more conservative approach to valuation.&nbsp;
Zuanic notes this discrepancy &#8211; partly due to IIPR&#8217;s NYSE listing versus NLCP&#8217;s OTC market status -suggests NLCP may be undervalued, with the potential for its valuation to increase as its market recognition grows.
The company's dividend coverage stands at 120%, demonstrating the sustainability of its payouts. NLCP's rental yield is approximately 13%, which,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic"> according to Zuanic</a>, is notably higher than its debt cost of 5.65%, ensuring that it generates sufficient income to cover its dividends.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Prudent Portfolio Management And Growth</h3>
NLCP operates with a low debt-to-equity ratio of less than 2%, maintaining an unleveraged balance sheet. This strategy underscores its cautious approach to capital management, particularly in an industry prone to higher volatility.
As of September 2024, NLCP's portfolio consists of 32 properties—including 17 dispensaries and 15 cultivation facilities—spread across 12 states. Zuanic noted these properties are fully rented, with an average lease term of 13.8 years, ensuring long-term income stability.&nbsp;
The company has demonstrated growth, with a 4% increase in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40834708/new-laws-could-unleash-1-7b-demand-for-cannabis-loans-this-real-estate-stock-is-set">real estate book</a> year-to-date, funded by $2.6 million in new investments in Q3 2024.&nbsp;
This growth rate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40867279/12m-in-rental-income-why-investors-should-watch-this-stock-thats-crushing-averages">outpaces IIPR</a>, which reported only 2% growth over the same period.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Challenges With Tenants And Lease Amendments</h3>
Like any investment, NLCP has faced challenges with a few tenants. Revolutionary Clinics in Massachusetts and Calypso Enterprises in Pennsylvania have struggled with rent payments. The company has amended leases with these tenants and utilized escrow deposits to address rent shortfalls.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Outlook And Acquisition Strategy</h3>
&nbsp;As recreational cannabis markets expand in states like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis">New York</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-jersey-cannabis">New Jersey</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">Ohio</a>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/connecticut-cannabis">Connecticut</a>, NLCP is positioned for growth. Furthermore, large medical markets such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">Pennsylvania</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/virginia-cannabis">Virginia</a> could transition to recreational sales within the next two years, creating new growth opportunities.
In 2024, NLCP made a $4 million acquisition of a cultivation facility in Connecticut (C3 Industries), with $12 million committed to building improvements. As of September 2024, the company has $21.2 million in construction-in-progress, primarily in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arizona-cannabis">Arizona</a> and Connecticut, indicating continued expansion of its portfolio.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Performance And Sector Comparison</h3>
Over the past 90 days, NLCP's stock has been relatively stable, down 3%, compared to the broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41214215/cannabis-focused-commercial-mortgage-reit-exceeds-100m-in-new-originations-with-41m-credit-facil">industrial REIT </a>sector, which declined 13%.&nbsp;
NLCP trades at par, with a book value per share (BVPS) of $19.48 as of Q3 2024, well below the 57% premium at which IIPR trades. According to Zuanic, NLCP's stock is priced close to its actual value of $19.48 per share, while IIPR is trading at a much higher price above its book value.
Despite this, NLCP's superior<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39866180/this-cannabis-lender-is-sitting-on-a-stack-of-capital-100-dividends-meet-equity-lik"> dividend yield</a> and low debt cost make it a potentially more attractive investment for income-focused investors.
&#8220;Five operators (four public) accounted for 65% of total rental income as of 3Q24 (Curaleaf (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#NASDAQ">CURLF</a>) 23%; Cresco Labs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#NASDAQ">CRLBF</a>) 14%; Trulieve (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) 11%; Cannabist 9%; C3 8%); this compared with 68% in 3Q23.

The Price Is Right: This Weed Real Estate Stock Proves Conservative Strategies Bring Returns

Streaming giant Netflix was one of the big winners in the Golden Globe nominations. President-elect Donald Trump could be one of the losers with a film he tried to stop from premiering nominated for two awards in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42395178/golden-globes-2025-nominations-netflix-scores-nods-for-emilia-perez-and-squid-game-comcast-lands-4-wicked-noms">Monday's announcement.</a>
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38212867/donald-trump-biopic-gets-cannes-film-festival-premiere-heres-the-details-when-moviegoers-co">fought to have </a>"The Apprentice" blocked from movie theaters, but ultimately failed to prevent moviegoers at film festivals and in movie theaters from seeing the film which centers on his rise to power in the 1970s under mentor Roy Cohn.
While Trump's fight against the film may have kept big studios and streaming companies from pushing the film in front of consumers, it is now one of the limited number of films nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe Award.
Sebastian Stan, who played Trump in the film, was nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in Motion Picture – Drama category.
Jeremy Strong, who played Cohn in the film, was also nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture category.
For Stan, the nomination was one of two he received, as he was also nominated for "A Different Man" in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category.
Stan's nominations in both lead acting categories is the first for a male at the Golden Globe Awards since 2012 (Ryan Gosling).
"I never would've dreamt that I was going to be going to the Globes with both of these films," Stan <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/sebastian-stan-is-still-shaking-after-getting-two-golden-globe-nominations">told </a>Vanity Fair.
Stan highlighted that "The Apprentice" is about "one of the most famous people in the world." The actor said the film faced an uphill battle due to Trump's rejection of the movie.
"It's been hard for people to have permission to express how they feel about the movie, and today feels very gratifying in terms of having the Golden Globes recognize the film, and the work. It feels like hopefully going forward people can feel okay talking about it, and see it."
The film <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt8368368/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">grossed </a>$4.0 million domestically and $8.1 million internationally in movie theaters according to BoxOfficeMojo.
Stan has never won a Golden Globe, with his only other nomination coming for "Pam &amp; Tommy" where he played Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in the limited series on Hulu.
Strong was nominated twice for the HBO series "Succession," winning one Golden Globe.

What's Next: Stan has two chances to take home his first Golden Globe Award. For the drama motion picture category, these are the nominees:
<ul>
<li>Adrien Brody (&#8220;The Brutalist&#8221;)</li>
<li>Timothée Chalamet (&#8220;A Complete Unknown&#8221;)</li>
<li>Daniel Craig (&#8220;Queer&#8221;)</li>
<li>Colman Domingo (&#8220;Sing Sing&#8221;)</li>
<li>Ralph Fiennes (&#8220;Conclave&#8221;)</li>
<li>Sebastian Stan (&#8220;The Apprentice&#8221;)</li>
</ul>
In the motion picture musical or comedy category, these are the nominees:
<ul>
<li>Jesse Eisenberg (&#8220;A Real Pain&#8221;)</li>
<li>Hugh Grant (&#8220;Heretic&#8221;)</li>
<li>Gabriel Labelle (&#8220;Saturday Night&#8221;)</li>

<li>Glen Powell (&#8220;Hit Man&#8221;)</li>
<li>Sebastian Stan (A Different Man)</li>
</ul>
