Analyst’s Disclosure: I/we have a beneficial long position in the shares of EPRT, O, NNN, ADC, WPC either through stock ownership, options, or other derivatives. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
I have served as an executive in multiple public net lease REITs and am currently Chair of a privately held net lease REIT that occasionally will compete with EPRT. This should not have any impact on this analysis, which is favorable. Plus, I have recently posted a video on an EPRT 2024 analysis, which is part of my educational series on the Value Equation, business model dynamics, and how wealth is created.
