Did NNN Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
NNN REIT delivered a strong third quarter, posting earnings per share of $0.51 against a consensus estimate of $0.48, a 6.65% beat, while revenue climbed 5.3% year over year to $230.16 million, edging past the $228.87 million estimate by 0.56%. The standout driver behind the quarter was the company's highest acquisition volume since 2018, with $283.03 million deployed into 57 properties at a 7.3% initial cash cap rate and a weighted average lease term of 17.8 years, pushing year-to-date investment to $747.96 million. That momentum prompted management to sharply raise full-year acquisition guidance to $850 million–$950 million from a prior range of $600 million–$700 million. Core FFO grew 1.2% year over year to $0.85 per diluted share, and annualized base rent expanded 7.2% to $912.22 million, underscoring the durability of the portfolio.
