Cantor Fitzgerald initiates Netstreit stock with Overweight rating on tenant quality

Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Netstreit Corp. (NYSE:NTST), a $1.52 billion market cap real estate company, with an Overweight rating and a $21.00 price target, representing a 16.9% upside from current levels. The stock currently offers a 4.76% dividend yield and has delivered an impressive 32.72% return year-to-date.

The rating is based on a 2026 estimated AFFO multiple of 15.4x, which compares favorably to the property sector peer average of 13.6x, according to Cantor Fitzgerald.

Netstreit stock has recovered after management pruned its portfolio and effectively addressed concerns about rent risk for large tenants that had been featured in negative headlines, including Walgreens and dollar stores.

The company’s tenant credit quality is demonstrated by its low bad debt expectations of just 25 basis points for 2025, Cantor Fitzgerald noted in its analysis.

After beginning the year with conservative acquisition expectations, Netstreit has positioned itself to access equity capital markets to fund acquisition growth, which could potentially drive 2026 Street estimates higher than current projections. The company is scheduled to report its next earnings on October 23, 2025.

In other recent news, Netstreit Corp reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings with a mixed performance.
