Essential Properties Realty Trust reported sustained growth in its single-tenant net lease portfolio with 2,300 properties across 48 states as of mid-2026. The company maintains high occupancy at 99.7%, a weighted average lease term exceeding 14 years, and broad tenant diversification, underpinning stable rental revenue streams. Recent quarterly disclosures reveal disciplined capital deployment primarily through sale-leaseback acquisitions targeting middle-market service-oriented tenants. While interest expenses rose due to increased debt levels and higher rates, EPRT's balanced financial position and contractual rent escalations support cash flow resilience.
