On February 12, 2026, W. P. Carey Inc. priced an underwritten public offering of €1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, split between €500 million of 3.250% notes due 2031 and €500 million of 3.750% notes due 2035, with a weighted-average coupon of 3.500% and term of 7.4 years. The notes, for which listing is being sought on Euronext Dublin, are expected to settle on February 24, 2026, with J.P. Morgan Securities plc, Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas and Wells Fargo Securities International Limited acting as joint bookrunners.

Spark’s Take on WPC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WPC is a Outperform.

The score is driven mainly by solid financial quality (strong cash generation and profitability) and favorable technical momentum (price above major moving averages with positive MACD). Earnings call guidance supports continued AFFO growth and balance-sheet flexibility, while the primary constraint is valuation (high P/E despite an attractive ~5% dividend yield).
