The latest announcement is out from Global Net Lease ( (GNL) ).
On February 2, 2026, Global Net Lease announced the finalized U.S. federal income tax classification for all dividends paid in 2025 on its common and multiple series of preferred stock, stating that 100% of those distributions for the 2025 tax year are treated as nondividend distributions, or return of capital, rather than ordinary dividends. The designation means shareholders will generally not recognize the cash received in 2025 as immediate taxable dividend income but instead must adjust their tax basis in GNL shares, an outcome that can defer tax liabilities and is particularly relevant for income-focused investors and tax planning around the REIT’s capital-return profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (GNL) stock is a Buy with a $10.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Global Net Lease stock, see the GNL Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GNL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GNL is a Neutral.
The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance (declining revenue, large net losses, and high leverage), partly offset by healthier cash generation. The earnings call was a meaningful positive due to improved AFFO guidance, substantial debt reduction, refinancing, and the investment-grade rating upgrade, while technicals show an uptrend but with overbought signals that temper near-term optimism. Valuation is mixed: a very high dividend yield supports the stock, but the negative P/E reflects ongoing losses.
