W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC) is a net lease real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests primarily in single-tenant industrial, warehouse, and retail commercial real estate properties located in the United States and Europe under long-term net leases with built-in rent escalations. As of June 30, 2026, the company's net lease portfolio comprised 1,748 properties covering approximately 188.5 million square feet leased to 384 tenants across 87 distinct industries, with a weighted-average lease term of 12.2 years and an occupancy rate of 98.5%. The portfolio is 64% industrial and warehouse by annualized base rent (ABR), with 67% of ABR from North America and 33% from Europe. Approximately 48% of the company's ABR is linked to CPI-based escalators, with an additional 49% having fixed escalations, providing strong inflation protection and predictable internal growth. The company's top 10 tenants represent only 18.1% of ABR, reflecting significant tenant diversification. W. P. Carey generates revenue primarily through contractual lease payments and pursues growth through acquisitions, sale-leasebacks, build-to-suit projects, and other net lease investment structures. The company also maintains a small portfolio of operating properties including hotels and student housing, and operates a Carey Tenant Solutions platform focused on build-to-suits, redevelopments, and energy solutions. W. P. Carey maintains an investment grade balance sheet rated Baa1 by Moody's and BBB+ by S&P, with offices in New York, London, Amsterdam, and Dallas. Updated
