3 Advantages That Could Completely Change Your Opinion of Prologis
When companies become big, like Prologis (NYSE: PLD), one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) by market capitalization, there's a point at which many investors stop looking at their stocks as a growth opportunity.

Shares of Prologis are down 21% year to date, largely for this reason: increasing concern over the company's ability to keep expanding in a changing economic environment. But before you dismiss Prologis as simply a slow but steady way to earn a slightly better-than-average dividend return, consider these three advantages that could change your opinion about the REIT.
Prologis has experienced incredible year-over-year rent growth over the past few years. After the onset of the global recession, demand for industrial space -- particularly warehouses and distribution and logistics centers like Prologis owns and leases -- went through the roof.
