NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GNL) ("GNL" or the "Company") announced today that it will release its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

High-yield 'mousetrap' REITs consistently underperform, with average returns lagging the VNQ by 1090–1380 bps due to dividend cuts and price declines. Dividend Safety grades of F indicate a roughly 40% chance of a cut within 12 months, making these REITs especially risky for income-focused investors. Nine REITs, including CLPR, BDN, CHCT, GOOD, NXRT, GNL, ALX, BRT, and AFCG, currently offer yields above 6.85% but have severe Dividend Safety concerns.

A 30% yield sounds like a dream for retirees, but the cash funding that payout may not be coming from the business itself.

Global Net Lease's 9% yield is drawing income investors in, but a closer look at its cash flow numbers reveals a coverage ratio that keeps shrinking quarter by quarter, and a wall of debt maturities closing in fast.

NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Net Lease, Inc. ("GNL" or the "Company") (NYSE: GNL / GNL PRA / GNL PRB / GNL PRD / GNL PRE) announced today that it declared a dividend of $0.190 per share of common stock payable on October 16, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on October 12, 2026.

High dividend yields can still be value traps. GOOD and GNL face leverage and office exposure risks. BDN's 10% yield may not be sustainable.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Net Lease, Inc. ("GNL" or the "Company") (NYSE: GNL/ GNL PRA / GNL PRB / GNL PRD / GNL PRE) announced today that it declared quarterly dividends on its outstanding preferred stock. Specifically, GNL declared (i) a dividend of $0.453125 per share on its 7.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), payable on October 15, 2026, to holders of record of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 2, 2026, (ii) a dividend of $0.4296875 per share on its 6.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") payable on October 15, 2026 to holders of record of shares of its Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 2, 2026, (iii) a dividend of $0.46875 per share on its 7.50% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") payable on October 15, 2026 to holders of record of shares of its Series D Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 2, 2026, and (iv) a dividend of $0.4609375 per share on its 7.375% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock") payable on October 15, 2026 to holders of record of shares of its Series E Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 2, 2026.

Essential Properties Realty Trust offers a compelling blend of diversification, income, safety, and growth, with its largest tenant at just 3.1% of base rent. Diversification reduces tenant-specific risk, but quality of tenants, lease coverage, and disciplined capital allocation are critical for durable, repeatable AFFO-per-share growth. Concentrated REITs like PSTL or GLPI may deliver higher yields and faster growth but carry materially higher risk premiums due to tenant or sector concentration.

Global Net Lease's coverage of its quarterly dividend is falling after a series of cuts since 2023. GNL offers an 8.33% dividend yield, with the preferreds paying out a roughly 8% current yield after a rally over the last year. Despite its investment-grade 'BBB-' credit, stock buybacks, and disposition of office assets, GNL faces the specter of another dividend cut.

Realty Income, Essential Properties, and Agree Realty are my top SWAN net lease REITs for dependable, growing retirement income. O, EPRT, and ADC offer sector-leading AFFO-per-share growth, conservative payout ratios, and attractive yields, trading below historical AFFO multiples. Scale, cost of capital, and disciplined underwriting are critical; sector consolidation favors larger REITs with diversified portfolios and capital access.
