Ronald Kamdem has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect Broadstone Net Lease’s current financial position and strategic outlook. The company’s fourth-quarter financial results, including an AFFO of $0.36, were in line with expectations, which indicates stable financial performance but not necessarily robust growth. The introduction of the 2025 AFFO guide at $1.47 and the acquisition guide at $500 million suggest a steady outlook but do not significantly diverge from market expectations.
Despite a high occupancy rate of 99.1% and a consistent rent collection of 99.2%, Broadstone Net Lease’s investment strategy, including $200.7 million in remaining build-to-suit developments and $103.5 million in acquisitions under control, appears to be balanced but not overly aggressive. The dividend remains stable with a slight year-over-year increase, which supports income generation yet signals that explosive growth is not anticipated. These factors together form a basis for a Hold rating, as the stock presents a stable investment without a clear catalyst for significant upside in the near term.
In another report released yesterday, Truist Financial also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $17.00 price target.
