Management, verbatim
I am pleased to report another solid quarter of investments that are leased to high quality net lease tenants. While rapid changes in the capital markets have increased capital costs across the net lease space, NETSTREIT’s low leverage and ample liquidity have uniquely positioned us to capitalize on future opportunities that may arise from any prolonged market dislocation. As such, we are reiterating our 2026 AFFO per share guidance and remain optimistic about our growth prospects given our resilient portfolio and capital runway through 2027.
