Ronald Kamdem has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that present a balanced outlook for VICI Properties. The company’s fourth-quarter investment activities, including the new partnership with Indigenous Gaming Partners and the strategic relationship with Cain International and Eldridge Industries, reflect positive growth prospects. Additionally, the capital markets activity, such as the updated Moody’s credit rating and the issuance of investment-grade senior notes, positions VICI well in terms of financial stability.
However, despite these positive developments, the overall financial results for the quarter were in line with expectations, with AFFO per share growth guidance only slightly above consensus. The focus remains on the transaction pipeline, and while occupancy and liquidity levels are stable, there is no substantial immediate catalyst to drive a significant change in stock value. Consequently, the Hold rating suggests a wait-and-see approach as the company continues to navigate its strategic initiatives and market conditions.
According to TipRanks, Kamdem is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 4.1% and a 51.45% success rate. Kamdem covers the Real Estate sector, focusing on stocks such as Healthpeak Properties, Welltower, and Prologis.
