Did NNN Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
NNN REIT closed out 2025 on a solid footing, posting Q4 earnings of $0.51 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.50, a 2.00% beat, while revenue of $238.40 million topped expectations of $230.76 million by 3.31% and climbed 9.1% year over year. The primary engine behind the revenue growth was a meaningfully larger property portfolio, the result of a record $931.00 million in new investments deployed throughout 2025 at a 7.4% initial cash cap rate, lifting Annualized Base Rent 7.8% to $928.10 million. Portfolio occupancy improved 80 basis points sequentially to 98.3% across 3,692 properties, though impairment losses of $15.36 million, tied in part to tenant stress from Frisch's Restaurants and Badcock Furniture, weighed on net earnings. The quarter also marked NNN's 36th consecutive year of annual dividend increases, with the board declaring a $0.60 quarterly dividend. Looking ahead, management introduced 2026 AFFO guidance of $3.52 to $3.58 per share, representing roughly 3.2% growth at the midpoint, as a recent leadership transition brings a new board chair to oversee execution of that strategy.
