Following the earnings announcement, BMO Capital analyst Frank Lee reiterated a Buy rating on PSTL.

In a note to investors, Lee said, “PSTL is executing on multiple fronts, highlighted by $130mm of acquisitions in FY20 along with addressing all of its 2019/2020 holdover leases, which are now under new 5-year leases. 2021 is off to a good start with $24mm acquired YTD, well on its way to meet $100mm target for FY21. The roll-up story remains intact and we see a path for above-average growth and multiple expansion as further progress is made on the external side.”

Lee has a price target of $19 (20.6% upside potential) on the stock.
