Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) is a specialised real‑estate investment trust (REIT) focused on owning, developing and operating life‑science and technology campuses, primarily in the United States. With a market capitalisation of about $13.28 billion, Alexandria leases lab and office space to biotech, pharmaceutical and research companies, often under long‑term agreements that can offer stable rental income but also expose the business to sector cycles. Investors should note the company’s exposure to the health‑science ecosystem, which can drive demand and higher rental premiums but may also concentrate tenant risk. Interest rates, development costs and local real‑estate competition influence cash flow and valuations. Alexandria historically targets income through rents and may offer dividend distributions, yet REIT payouts and share prices can fluctuate. This summary is general educational information and not personalised investment advice; suitability depends on an individual’s circumstances and risk tolerance.
