VICI Properties Lifts 2026 AFFO Guidance, Reveals $1.5 Billion Mezzanine Loan
VICI is trading near its 52-week low of $26.55 (8.6% above the low).
Summary
VICI Properties Inc. has raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) guidance to $2.44-$2.47 per share, signaling a stronger outlook for the experiential REIT. This positive revision is bolstered by the announcement of a new $1.5 billion mezzanine loan investment for One Beverly Hills, alongside anticipated growth from pending acquisitions. While the company's Q1 revenue of $1 billion slightly missed analyst expectations, Q1 AFFO per share rose 4.5% year-over-year to $0.61. The updated guidance and significant new investment are material developments for VICI, indicating continued operational strength and an expanding asset base, which could positively influence investor sentiment and valuation. Traders will closely monitor the revised guidance as a key indicator of the company's future performance.
At the time of this announcement, VICI was trading at $28.83 on NYSE in the Real Estate & Construction sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $30.6B.
