A healthy balance sheet bodes well for long-term growth. Further, given a healthy operating platform, a lower-than-industry debt-to-equity ratio and a decent financial position, its dividend payout seems to be sustainable.However, growing e-commerce adoption by consumers raises concerns for the company. Market uncertainties emanating from policy shifts and substantial exposure to single-tenant assets add to its woes.(You can read the full research report on Realty Income here >>>)Shares of Weyco have outperformed the Zacks Shoes and Retail Apparel industry over the past year (+0.7% vs. -8.4%).
