Assessing Getty Realty (GTY) Valuation After $250 Million Senior Unsecured Notes Reshape Its Balance Sheet

Getty Realty (GTY) just locked in a fresh $250 million in senior unsecured notes, a material financing move that reshapes its balance sheet, extends debt maturities, and frees up capacity for new investments.

See our latest analysis for Getty Realty.

The new $250 million note deal lands while Getty Realty’s share price has slipped year to date but still sits at $27.93, and its five year total shareholder return near 30% points to durable, if unspectacular, long term compounding rather than fading momentum.

If this kind of steady, income oriented story has you wondering what else is out there, now is a smart time to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a contrast.

Yet with revenue and earnings still growing, the stock trading below analyst targets, and a hefty intrinsic discount implied, is Getty a quietly mispriced income REIT, or is the market already baking in all the growth ahead?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 13.1% Undervalued

Compared with Getty Realty’s last close at $27.93, the most followed narrative pegs fair value meaningfully higher and grounds that view in detailed growth math.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $32.143 for Getty Realty based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.

In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $252.2 million, earnings will come to $92.5 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 26.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.3%.
