Nothing But Net (Lease REITs)
Net Lease REITs create value by investing at returns above their cost of capital; WACC is a key metric for quality assessment. Top Net Lease REITs like Agree Realty, Essential Properties, Four Corners, VICI, and Realty Income have the most attractive WACCs and investment spreads. High-yield or cheap REITs often have elevated payout ratios and weaker balance sheets, signaling higher risk and possible dividend instability.

Global Net Lease is poised for significant gains if upgraded by S&P or Fitch, reducing debt costs and improving cash flows and stock valuation. Having investment grade rated debt would improve GNL's ability to win business and competitive position in net lease space. Having a lower cost of debt will also improve profitability and reduce the discount rate used to value the cash flows.
