VICI Properties (NYSE: VICI) just delivered its latest quarterly dividend payment to shareholders, and the scorecard behind that check tells a story worth understanding.
Macro pessimism, Las Vegas overhang, and tenant concentration have contributed to VICI's steep selloff, albeit triggering my upgraded Strong Buy rating. The tenants' profitable metrics, 100% rent collection, triple net lease, and inflation-protected escalators support the REIT's resilient operations. VICI's diversification into experiential assets further enhances its long-term prospects while offering a speculative upside potential, assuming valuation re-rating nearer to its diversified REIT peers.

VICI Properties remains compelling after a significant price decline, offering attractive valuation and resilient fundamentals, especially with CPI-linked rent escalators. AFFO per share grew 5.1% in 2025 to $2.38, with 2026 guidance softer at $2.42–$2.45, reflecting 1.7%–2.9% growth amid a normalization in Las Vegas trends. VICI's balance sheet is robust, with net debt/EBITDA at 5x and a weighted average interest rate of 4.46%, mitigating refinancing risks despite rising rates.
VICI Properties sold off on fears about Las Vegas and tenant risks. Recent results suggest those concerns may be overblown. Slower growth for now, but the long-term upside story remains intact.
VICI Properties Inc. (VICI) closed the most recent trading day at $28.42, moving 3.04% from the previous trading session.
VICI Properties is a triple-net REIT with a premier experiential real estate portfolio, heavily concentrated in Las Vegas and anchored by long-term, inflation-protected leases. I see a 15%-30% upside for VICI, supported by both intrinsic (FCFF, NAV) and relative valuation methods, with fair value estimates ranging from $34.9 to $36.8 per share. Key risks include high tenant and geographic concentration, potential lease renegotiations—especially with Caesars—and sensitivity to movements in the risk-free rate.
REITs are poised for potential outperformance in 2026, driven by anticipated lower interest rates and investor rotation from growth to value. Getty Realty (GTY) and VICI Properties (VICI) offer attractive valuations, strong fundamentals, and yields near 6%, supporting double-digit total return potential. GTY trades at a forward P/AFFO of 12.77x with 99.7% occupancy, while VICI has diversified assets and achieved 5.1% AFFO growth in 2025.
