Description: LINE Lineage, Common Stock January 04, 2026
Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) is the world’s largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, operating over 485 facilities that together provide roughly 88 million sq ft (≈ 3.1 bn cu ft) of refrigerated space across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Novi, Michigan, the company delivers end-to-end supply-chain services and technology to food-and-beverage manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, aiming to boost distribution efficiency, enhance sustainability, and cut waste.
Key operating metrics (as of the latest 10-K) show an occupancy rate near 96 % and a weighted-average lease term of 7.5 years, indicating a stable cash-flow profile. The cold-storage sector is being driven by rising e-commerce food sales, which have grown at a CAGR of 12 % since 2020, and by regulatory pressure on food-safety and carbon-emissions, both of which support higher demand for modern, energy-efficient facilities.
