John Kim has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Global Net Lease’s strong financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company reported a solid first quarter in 2025, surpassing expectations with its Adjusted Funds From Operations per share and maintaining its guidance for the year, which was above consensus. This positive performance was bolstered by the successful completion of the first phase of its multi-tenant retail sale, generating significant proceeds that were used to reduce its revolving credit facility.
Moreover, Global Net Lease has made strategic moves to strengthen its financial position, including reducing its leverage and repurchasing a substantial amount of its shares at an attractive implied cap rate. These actions demonstrate the company’s commitment to enhancing shareholder value. However, challenges remain, such as the concentration of top customers and the percentage of investment-grade tenants, but the overall outlook remains positive, justifying the Buy rating.
