Samir Khanal has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Phillips Edison & Company’s strong performance and growth potential.

This was accompanied by an increase in guidance for 2025, indicating confidence in continued financial strength.

The acquisition strategy is robust, targeting significant annual acquisitions with attractive returns. Furthermore, the company’s focus on necessity-based goods and services provides a stable foundation in the current market environment.
