Description: WPC W P Carey January 03, 2026
W. P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) is one of the largest net-lease REITs, owning roughly 1,600 single-tenant properties-including industrial, warehouse, retail and 66 self-storage sites-totaling about 178 million sq ft as of 30 June 2025. The portfolio is geographically diversified across the United States and Europe and is anchored by long-term net leases that contain automatic rent escalations, providing predictable cash flow.
Key operating metrics that investors watch: FY 2024 adjusted FFO was $0.70 per share, the dividend yield hovered near 5.6 %, and the company maintained a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of ~5.2×, indicating moderate leverage. Sector-level drivers include sustained e-commerce demand boosting industrial space demand, and a historically low vacancy rate (~4 %) in net-lease assets that supports rent growth. However, rising interest rates could pressure net-lease valuations and the cost of new debt financing.
