Essential Properties Realty Trust Is Getting Close To A Buy Rating

Summary EPRT remains a hold, with business fundamentals outpacing peers but valuation not yet compelling enough to upgrade. EPRT's portfolio is highly diversified, with the top 10 tenants accounting for just 15.2% of ABR, mitigating concentration risk. EPRT targets 8% AFFO growth for 2026, supported by robust investment activity and sector-leading investment spreads of 1.4%. Current 14.0x P/FFO multiple is more attractive than prior levels, but I await a further drop to 13–13.5x before adding. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

W. P. Carey: Inflation-Beating Yields, Tenant Risk Mitigation, And Resilience Amid Uncertainty

Summary W. P. Carey’s CPI-linked leases (49% of same-store) and exposure to defensive sectors drive operational resilience amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Strong H1'26 investment volume, a healthier balance sheet, and proactive tenant risk management underpin confidence in raised FY2026 guidance. WPC remains compelling at a Price/AFFO of 14.27x while offering inflation-beating dividend yields of ~5% and a rich TTM payout hike of +4.37%. Risks include the seasonally weaker trading months through October, potentially expensive 2027 note refinancing, and elevated short interest ratio. WPC remains a great buy, with the added benefit of upside potential if they sustain the mid-single-digit AFFO per share growth. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Modiv Industrial: Downgrading The Preferred Stock To A 'Hold'

Summary Modiv Industrial is being acquired by Global Net Lease in an all-stock deal, offering fair value to MDV shareholders. I exited my MDV common shares post-announcement, preferring not to hold GNL stock, but retained my MDV preferred shares. MDV.PR.A preferred holders stand to receive $25 plus accrued dividends upon deal closure, with limited downside risk if the deal fails. I rate the preferred stock a "hold" only considering additional purchases below the $25 principal amid the pending acquisition. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
