Analysis · VICI · Real Estate & Construction
VICI's Q2 net income fell sharply to $526.5 million from $865.1 million a year ago, entirely due to a $271.1 million non-cash increase in its allowance for credit losses — an accounting adjustment, not a cash outflow. The underlying business grew: total revenues rose 5.7% to $1.06 billion, and AFFO per share, the key metric for REITs, increased to $0.62 from $0.60. The company closed three acquisitions during the quarter, adding $87 million in annual rent from the Golden Entertainment portfolio alone. Liquidity remains strong with $2.5 billion in cash and revolver capacity. The stock trades near its 52-week low, making the AFFO growth and acquisition pace notable for income-focused investors.
