Did GTY Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Getty Realty Corp. delivered a standout second quarter for 2026, with funds from operations well ahead of expectations as the net lease REIT's aggressive acquisition push translated directly into earnings. The company posted AFFO of $0.62 per diluted share, beating the $0.46 consensus estimate by 34.55%, while total revenues climbed 10.9% year-over-year to $59.05 million, just shy of the $59.23 million analysts had projected. The primary driver was a surge in base rental income, up 13.2% year-over-year to $56.60 million, fueled by $128.30 million deployed across 42 properties during the quarter at a 7.4% initial cash yield, spanning drive-thru quick service restaurants, auto service centers, and express tunnel car washes. With year-to-date investment activity reaching $172.10 million at a blended 7.6% yield and a committed pipeline exceeding $95.00 million for 30 additional properties, management nudged its full-year 2026 AFFO guidance higher to $2.52 to $2.54 per diluted share, reflecting confidence in the durability of its convenience and automotive retail portfolio, now spanning 1,224 freestanding properties across 46 states.
