Publicly traded companies often prepare graphically rich, and insight laden information in their investor relations (IR) presentations.
This snapshot here is from UMH Properties (UMH) latest IR presentation.
UMH is one of the largest community operators in the U.S. They are identified as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in the manufactured home community (MHC) space.
UMH also operate some retail centers, which their president Sam Landy, JD, mentions as underperforming in video interviews conducted last year. Those videos with their CEO are linked below.
UMH’s presentation naturally provides reasons why they believe that they’re particularly well suited for an investor to consider.
It should be noted, as a disclosure, that the Daily Business News’ parent company and owners hold no stock in any manufactured home operation.
There is steady growth in recovery of the industry, as the charts below reflects.
