WPC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
W.P. Carey's outlook appears positive due to a projected increase in Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) per share, with estimates for 2025 and 2026 rising by $0.06 and $0.03, respectively, driven by higher acquisition volumes, reduced credit losses, and a lower cost of capital. The company has demonstrated solid financial performance, as evidenced by a 5% beat in Q2 2025 results and increased guidance, while also benefitting from interest rate stability that enhances transaction activity, particularly in European markets where deals are expected to yield strong risk-adjusted returns. The adjustment of the applied 2026 price-to-AFFO per share multiple to 13.0x reflects improved tenant credit risk trends and diminished competition within the net lease REIT sector, indicating a favorable environment for W.P. Carey’s future growth.
Bears say
W.P. Carey's stock outlook appears negative due to several fundamental financial concerns. The company faces significant risks associated with general economic trends and a potential reduction in acquisition spreads, which could adversely impact future investment returns. Additionally, geographic exposure increases geopolitical risks, and the below-average concentration of investment-grade tenants raises credit risk concerns, particularly in light of tenant bankruptcies that could threaten net operating income and dividends.
