EPRT Stock Forecast & Price Target
EPRT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc. demonstrates robust earnings growth, reflected by a sector-leading AFFO growth rate, projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.0% from 2024 to 2026, significantly outpacing the sector average of 3.5%. The company's low dividend payout ratios further indicate financial strength and the capacity to reinvest earnings for growth, bolstered by favorable borrowing conditions and improved equity cost of capital. Additionally, EPRT's strong investment momentum, with notable closed investments and advanced acquisition cap rates, underscores its effective management and ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc is negative due to its year-to-date underperformance, with shares declining by 2.6% compared to a 13.0% gain in its peer group, which has led to a compression in valuation multiples relative to competitors. The use of free cash flow metrics further aligns the performance in the mid-5.0% range indicated by management, thus signaling limited growth potential in the near term. Additionally, the current volatility in interest rates poses further risks to achieving external growth expectations, casting doubt on the company’s ability to enhance its stock performance moving forward.
