  • I rate Iron Mountain stock (IRM) a hold due to its high expenses that are weakening its profitability as well as its high debt burden. Read an analysis here.

The article on Seeking Alpha discusses Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM), a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in storage and information management services. The author suggests that while Iron Mountain has shown resilience and growth, particularly in its data center segment, the stock's valuation appears stretched with a forward P/AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations) ratio higher than its historical average. Despite positive developments like a 5.3% increase in AFFO per share in Q1 2024 and a robust outlook for future growth, the author recommends holding the stock until there is a clearer signal for buying, due to concerns over its current valuation and potential economic headwinds. The article also highlights Iron Mountain's strategic moves into digital transformation and sustainability, but advises caution due to the stock's price relative to its growth prospects.
