Q2 FY26
TL;DR. EPRT posted Q2 AFFO per share of $0.50 (up 9% YoY) on $332.4M of investments at a 7.8% cash cap rate, and raised its 2026 AFFO/share guidance to $2.01–$2.05 and investment volume guidance to $1.2–$1.5B.
Bullish
- + Raised full-year 2026 AFFO per share guidance to $2.01–$2.05
- + Raised 2026 investment volume guidance to $1.2–$1.5B
- + Q2 AFFO per share grew 9% YoY to $0.50, modestly ahead of expectations
- + Strong liquidity and balance sheet capacity with $1.7B total liquidity and 3.5x pro forma leverage after $400M unsecured bond issuance
Bearish
- − Treasury stock method dilution is now a $0.01–$0.02 AFFO/share headwind, trending toward the high end
- − Change in provision for credit losses increased to $2.6M in Q2, reflecting management conservatism on loan book
