What Lineage does

World's largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, storing and moving frozen/refrigerated food for the cold chain.

Charges customers rent for each pallet position stored, often under minimum-commitment contracts, and fees for handling goods in and out, plus transport and value-added services, so occupancy and handling volumes carry results. Growth has come largely from acquiring other cold-storage operators and building near ports. Listed in 2024; Bay Grove, its original investor, is the largest owner.

What could go right

  • Consolidation of fragmented cold-storage industry
  • Growing frozen/refrigerated food volumes

What could go wrong

  • High capital intensity/energy costs
  • Integration risk from acquisitions

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, switching costs). Global network scale and integration into customers' cold-chain logistics create real switching costs.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
