EPRT Stock Forecast & Price Target
EPRT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc. (EPRT) demonstrates strong financial performance with sector-leading adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) growth projected at approximately 9.0% for the 2024A-2026E period, significantly outperforming the sector average of 3.5%. The company has maintained one of the lowest dividend payout ratios in its sector, indicating robust earnings growth and effective capital management. Furthermore, EPRT's continued investment momentum, highlighted by a record acquisition GAAP cap rate of 10.0% and an increased annual investment volume, further supports a positive outlook for the firm.
Bears say
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc has faced a year-to-date stock underperformance of -2.6%, compared to a 13.0% gain in its peer group, indicating a significant relative weakness in market position. The company's valuation multiple is at 14.2x, which is higher than its peers at 13.3x, suggesting a compression of valuation metrics that could deter investors. Additionally, the ongoing volatility and rise in interest rates are likely to hinder external growth expectations, further contributing to a negative outlook on the stock.
