Did VICI Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
VICI Properties posted a clean beat to open its third quarter, earning $0.71 per diluted share against a Wall Street consensus of $0.69, a 2.90% positive surprise, as the experiential real estate giant's triple-net lease engine continued to compound reliably. Total revenues reached $1.01 billion, up 4.4% year-over-year, powered by contractual rent escalators embedded across its 93-property portfolio, which maintained 100% occupancy and a weighted average lease term of 40 years. Adjusted funds from operations grew 7.4% to $637.57 million, reflecting disciplined capital deployment that held share count growth to just 2.1% over the trailing twelve months, a key reason <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/09/15/bank-of-america-warns-it-better-be-different-this-time-5-super-safe-dividend-stocks/">income-focused investors</a> have gravitated toward the stock.
