Waypoint REIT Ltd. ( (AU:WPR) ) has shared an update.

Waypoint REIT reported largely steady operating performance for the year to 31 December 2025, with distributable earnings edging 0.4% lower to $110.3 million even as distributable earnings per security rose 1.0% to 16.64 cents, helped by an on-market buy-back of 19.1 million stapled securities. Statutory net profit surged 52.2% to $200.1 million and net tangible assets per security increased 5.1% to $2.90, driven mainly by a $102.2 million net gain in investment property valuations and a modest expansion in total assets to $2.88 billion.

The portfolio remained almost fully occupied at 99.9%, with a weighted average capitalisation rate of 5.61% and weighted average lease expiry of 6.4 years, supported by Viva Energy Australia’s exercise of a 10-year option on 21 sites that will extend leases to 2036 and lift aggregate rent on those properties by 12.3% from August 2026. Waypoint continued to refine its holdings by exchanging six non-core assets for $40.6 million at a slight discount to book value, underscoring a strategy of maintaining asset quality and reinforcing income security in a specialised fuel and convenience retail real estate market.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WPR) stock is a Hold with a A$2.80 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Waypoint REIT Ltd. stock, see the AU:WPR Stock Forecast page.
