EPRT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc. demonstrates a strong financial performance characterized by impressive earnings growth and a low dividend payout ratio, positioning it favorably within the real estate investment trust sector. The company exhibits leading Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.0% for the years 2024 to 2026, significantly surpassing the sector average of 3.5%. Additionally, Essential Properties has shown robust investment activity, closing $219 million in investments quarter-to-date as of September 4, along with another $212 million under purchase and sale agreements or letters of intent, indicating a positive trajectory for future growth.
Bears say
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc. has exhibited a negative performance trend in the year-to-date period ending September 15, with a decline of 2.6% compared to a group average gain of 13.0%, indicating weak market sentiment and investor confidence. This underperformance has led to a compression in its valuation multiples, with the company trading at 14.2x versus 13.3x for its peers, which raises concerns about its competitive positioning in the market. Furthermore, when accounting for Free Cash Flow (FCF), the valuation aligns with management's mid-5.0% range, suggesting that despite efforts at stabilization, the overall financial posture remains less favorable than that of its competitors.
