Company & revenue
About Americold Realty Trust, Inc.
Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.
Who they are
Americold is recognized as the leading publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust worldwide, dedicated to the acquisition, development, operation, and ownership of temperature-controlled warehousing. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company commands a substantial portfolio of 185 refrigerated facilities. These locations collectively offer more than 1 billion cubic feet of chilled storage capacity, spanning across the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Argentina.
How they make money
Americold operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) that generates revenue primarily through the ownership, operation, and development of temperature-controlled warehouses. The company provides storage, handling, and transportation services to food producers, processors, distributors, and retailers, charging fees based on storage volume and logistics services rendered.
Products & services
Temperature-controlled storage, warehouse handling services, transportation management, and third-party managed warehouse operations for the food industry.
Brands & revenue mix
No separate brand or brand-level revenue disclosure was confirmed in the reviewed sources. This does not mean the company has no brands.
Product / operating segments
No reconciled product or operating-segment revenue breakdown is available for the current research period. Company-wide revenue remains separate from segment disclosure.

Calculated from reported segment revenue. Check the source period and revenue basis before comparing shares. Categories can overlap and may not add to 100%.
Customer concentration
The company typically serves a broad base of food industry customers and does not disclose a single customer accounting for a majority of revenue in the 2025 annual report.

Strengths
Financial risk observations and what to check
These are saved observations about business performance, not predictions. Review the company filings alongside the interpretation below. Latest stored financial period end: 2026-06-30.
Total debt is at least one year of revenue
Debt is large relative to the company's recent revenue base. Review maturity dates, borrowing terms and whether available liquidity can support the obligation.
Interest coverage is below 2x
Reported earnings provide limited coverage of interest expense. Review the underlying interest and operating-income figures because weak coverage can increase refinancing and liquidity risk.
Free cash flow is negative
The latest reported period did not generate positive free cash flow. Check whether the cash use reflects development investment, working capital or continuing operating losses.
Cash covers less than 20% of total debt
Cash on hand is small relative to reported debt. Compare unrestricted cash, debt maturities and expected financing needs rather than treating the ratio alone as a default prediction.
Quarterly EPS turned negative at -1.19 versus 0.01 a year earlier.
Separate recurring operating losses from noncash or one-time charges, and check cash flow rather than interpreting negative EPS as a cash-outflow amount.
Quarterly net income turned from a profit to a loss versus the same quarter last year.
Identify the causes in the interim report and distinguish operating cash use from accounting charges. Prior profitability is not a guarantee of recovery.

At today’s price, the WSS valuation framework currently reads as less attractive based on the available valuation and market data.
The model outlook is currently cautious.

Momentum & Volatility Signals
Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.
Neutral / mixed momentum
Low movement
A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.
A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.
Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
