Net-lease REIT that owns single-tenant retail, industrial and other properties on long-term leases, paying monthly dividends.
Collects rent under long single-tenant leases in which the tenant pays property tax, insurance and upkeep, so income is predictable and it needs few staff. It grows by buying properties, funded by raising equity and debt, and merged with VEREIT in 2021 and Spirit Realty in 2024. Dividends are paid monthly.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution). Scale and low cost of capital let it win larger sale-leaseback deals than smaller net-lease competitors.
