Summary VICI Properties remains resilient amid Las Vegas headwinds, delivering solid Q1 results and raising full-year AFFO guidance despite tenant and traffic challenges.

VICI Properties: Worth A Bet, But Not [Yet] For Me. I'll Explain Why
Summary CPI-linked triple-net leases with >40-year terms drive predictable, inflation-hedged cash flows across VICI’s portfolio. Strong tenant quality and master lease structures reduce default risk, even under macro stress. A well-laddered maturity schedule, low refinancing risk, and a well-managed balance sheet support VICI’s financial flexibility through rate cycles. Despite moderating dividend growth, high FCF yield and structural defensiveness make VICI a compelling low-volatility income play. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 25

Summary VICI Properties offers strong and stable cash flow due to its 100% triple net leases, high-quality tenants, and long average lease terms (41 years), with 100% rent collection in 2020. VICI's leases provide inflation protection with CPI-linked rent escalations set to reach 90% by 2035. The recent earnings miss was due to an accounting adjustment, not a cash flow issue.

Buy The Dip Opportunities: VICI Properties Vs Gaming And Leisure Properties
Summary The gaming property sector, represented by VICI and GLPI, offers unique value drivers like mission-critical properties, immunity to secular threats, focus on triple net leases, and outstanding negotiating position. Both REITs feature a 100% occupancy rate, outstandingly long lease terms and above-average rent escalators, setting them apart from other net lease REITs. VICI is deemed a 'strong buy' due to its higher DPS growth, trophy asset portfolio, and more attractive valuation, while GLPI is considered a 'buy'. Both REITs offer the potential for double-digit total returns resulting from multiple expansions and high dividends, but I believe VICI to outperform.

VICI Properties: Why I Am Selling This Dividend Darling
Summary Since I initially covered VICI with a "hold" rating in January 2024, shares severely underperformed the broader market. With VICI looking overvalued from my NAV and my more traditional valuation approach, I remain bearish on VICI shares. I am selling my stake at a profit while utilizing existing tax losses and plan to focus on compounding and total returns. VICI shares have a place in portfolios that are looking for high, safe, and inflation-hedged dividends. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 03
VICI Properties: Higher Interest Rates Aren't The Only Reason For Underperformance
Summary VICI Properties offers a highly predictable, slow-growing, and safe investment, appealing to investors seeking stable returns rather than market-beating performance. The company has built an exceptional portfolio of gaming and experiential properties but faces limited expansion opportunities and higher capital costs. Recent developments show modest growth in AFFO per share, driven by CPI protections, with a 4%-5% annual growth trajectory. VICI trades at a 7% AFFO yield, and may see valuation improvements if treasury yields decline. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 01
VICI Properties: The House Always Wins - Own The Casino Not The Business

VICI Properties: Ready To Rip Higher As The Fed Shifts Lower
Summary VICI Properties Inc. is a high-quality experiential REIT with robust fundamentals and an attractive valuation.

I explain why investors should consider capitalizing on its assessed valuation bifurcation before it potentially rips higher. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Sep 01
VICI Properties: Raised AFFO Guidance Implies Robust Dividend Hike Ahead
Summary VICI has already generated robust FQ2'24 performance metrics while raising their FY2024 guidance, with it implying a potentially rich dividend hike in FQ3'24. With the REIT already generating H1'24 AFFO growth at +6.6% YoY, we believe that the management's guidance is on the prudent side, with another beat and raise performance very likely. VICI has diversified its concentration risks to non-gaming sectors as well, with it exemplifying the management's confidence of generating profitable growth ahead. Even so, with the stock seemingly fully valued and its investment thesis tied to its rich yields as the Fed (speculatively) pivots by September 2024, readers may want to wait for a moderate pullback. Patient investors may be rewarded with richer dividend yields and improved margin of safety. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Aug 21
VICI Properties: Still A Good Bet

VICI Properties: Dividend And Upside Potential Still Make It A Buy
Summary VICI Properties remains a top REIT pick with iconic properties and solid fundamentals, while offering a nice dividend yield above 5%. Their recent Q2 earnings showed strong growth in revenue, FFO, and AFFO, positioning VICI as a solid long-term investment. This allowed VICI to raise their full-year guidance. Their strong liquidity, and well-covered dividend make VICI Properties a buy, despite potential risks like economic downturns. Despite recent upside their forward P/AFFO multiple of 14x is still below the sector median. If we see a second rate cut like some anticipate, I think VICI can potentially reward investors with strong double-digit upside to their price target of $38.

VICI Properties: Reviewing My Position
Summary I bought my VICI shares on November 30, 2021, at around $27 per share and the investment was a success. After holding it for two years, the position now came up for a review. The recent venture into bowling centers and golfing makes sense, but I am not sure if I want to accompany VICI down this path. Using a NAV and a more traditional approach, I think VICI is overvalued at the moment. I still rate VICI a hold for now because the REIT sector could outperform in 2024 (due to sentiment) and because I think we will keep seeing heightened inflation in 2024.

VICI Properties: Bowling Its Way Into A Diversified REIT
Summary The VICI management has proven to be highly competent, attributed to profitable growth trend, despite the challenging macroeconomic outlook. It is apparent that the REIT has also dipped its toes into multiple non-gaming properties as a way to diversify its risks, with certain sectors expected to underperform the downturn. The same trend has also been observed with multiple REITs, such as AMT into Data Center, IIPR into mixed-development/self-storage, and O into resort/gaming properties. Despite the ambitious acquisitions thus far, VICI remains highly capitalized with a robust balance sheet, implying the safety of its dividend growth ahead. With the Fed unlikely to further hike interest rates and some already speculating a Fed pivot as soon as Q1'24, we believe that the worst may very well be behind us.

VICI Properties: A Highly Profitable Gaming REIT With Discounted Valuations
Summary VICI's top and bottom line growth have been excellent over the past five years, well exceeding the sector median, with the management recently raising the FY2023 profit guidance. Shareholders have also benefitted from the REIT's high growth cadence, thanks to the raised quarterly dividends by +6.4% despite the sustained share dilution. While part of VICI's rental escalator is tied to the CPI, the Fed only expects to reach the 2% inflation target rate by 2025, suggesting VICI's excellent intermediate-term prospects. We expect the REIT to continue to exceed expectations, thanks to the high hotel occupancy rates and robust casino demand in Las Vegas as international guests return.

VICI Properties: Remains A Buy After The Guidance Upgrade
Summary VICI Properties, the leading gaming REIT and owner of iconic assets like Caesar's Palace, The Venetian, MGM Grand, and Mandalay Bay, provides investors with a unique opportunity. Unlike most REITs, VICI has a wide moat and possesses a significant competitive advantage in the form of a cornered resource. As Las Vegas is booming and VICI's portfolio steadily appreciates in value, the company reported another quarter of double-digit AFFO growth and significantly reduced its leverage. The company is at the higher end of its fair valuation range, trading at around a 15.4x forward P/FFO multiple and a 4.8% dividend yield. Still, investors can expect a relatively safe high-single-digit annual return through dividends, rent increases, and deleveraging. Thus, I reiterate a Buy rating.
