Morsa Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images I previously rated Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE: IIPR ) as a Buy in February 2026, thanks to the rich return prospects across dividend income and capital appreciation. In this article, I shall discuss why I am reiterating my Buy rating for the IIPR stock here, with the risks from the challenging cannabis operations well balanced by the rich double digits dividend yields and the recent medical cannabis rescheduling. IIPR Faces Numerous Tailwinds & Headwinds Entering FY2026 IIPR 1Y Stock Price (Trading View) Since my last contrarian Buy rating, IIPR has mostly traded sideways with a total return profile of +4% along with the wider market at +3.6%, thanks to the rich dividend yields. Otherwise, despite the supposed federal rescheduling tailwinds, it is apparent that the cannabis Multi-State Operators' [MSO] and cannabis REITs' prospects remain mixed in the near term. 1. More Tenant Troubles On the one hand, IIPR has reported a resolution for PharmaCann , Gold Flora, and 4Front, either through litigations or re-leased properties to new tenants, with rental collection expected upon regulatory processes. On the other hand, their tenant troubles continue, as observed in The Cannabist Company's default for the Pennsylvania property in March 2026 (one of twenty leases). The same has been observed for Battle Green through the Ohio property in March 2026, with it naturally underscoring the REIT's continued headwinds in the intermediate term. Given that The Cannabist Company and Battle Green comprise 9.2% of the REIT's rental revenues in FY2025, I can understand why IIPR has been trading sideways in the mean time. This is despite the ongoing resolution and the tenant renewal across their properties previously leased to PharmaCann/4Front/Gold Flora/TILT Holdings at approximately 21% of their annualized contractual rent as of December 31, 2025. 2. Stock Issuance & Debt To Fund Dividends As a result of IIPR's ongoing tenant def...
Local and devolved elections will reveal fragmented party allegiances that cannot be fairly represented in parliament via first past the post Some results in local council and devolved elections this week can be forecast with confidence, but none with precision.

Local and devolved elections will reveal fragmented party allegiances that cannot be fairly represented in parliament via first past the post Some results in local council and devolved elections this week can be forecast with confidence, but none with precision. Labour will have a torrid time everywhere. Reform UK will do well, continuing the trend of recent years. The Greens will surge in parts of London. Plaid Cymru will enjoy a breakthrough in Wales. Those trends could produce a wide spectrum of outcomes in terms of seats on councils and in the Scottish and Welsh parliaments. Much depends on the way that tight races involving many parties are filtered through different electoral systems. The first-past-the-post model used to elect local authorities in England is ill-suited to multiparty politics. It was already flawed in the era when political competition was defined by the rivalry between Labour and the Conservatives. Smaller parties were locked out. Too many voters felt their ballots counted for nothing in safe seats. Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

The Brazilian Central Bank bought dollars in the futures market for the first time in 10 years, taking advantage of the real’s rally to reduce the stock of derivatives used to prevent excessive movements of the currency. The central bank held an auction of so-called reverse swaps Wednesday, equivalent to a purchase of $500 million in the futures market. Analysts say the monetary authority will likely intervene in the same way again as high interest rates and diversification away from US assets fuels gains in emerging currencies including the real, which is up some 11% this year. “It’s a good strategy from the central bank’s point of view,” said Olga Yangol , head of economic research and strategy for emerging markets at Crédit Agricole. “The intervention effectively absorbs the excess supply of dollars.” Since Nilton David took the helm as the bank’s monetary policy director in January 2025, the central bank’s stock of derivatives known as swaps has fallen by more than $7 billion to $95.75 billion. David has been overseeing a series of operations known as “casadão” — the sale of spot dollars from international reserves combined with the purchase of dollars in the futures market via reverse swap. Wednesday marked the first time the bank conducted just the reverse swaps since 2016, according to central bank data. The central bank is “taking advantage of the strength” of the real to “unwind positions,” said Alejandro Cuadrado , global head of foreign exchange and chief strategist for Latin America at BBVA. “Everyone and their sister is long on the real.” Read More: Intervention Won’t Halt Real’s Path to 4.80/USD The real, the best performing major currency this year, was down about 0.2% on Wednesday, lagging most emerging-market peers amid the central bank intervention.
