VICI Properties Inc is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this moment. While the stock offers an attractive dividend yield and has shown consistent dividend growth, the recent downgrade in analyst ratings, limited external growth, and tenant-related concerns create uncertainty. Additionally, the technical indicators and options data do not signal a clear buying opportunity. Holding off for more clarity on the lease issue and improved financial performance would be prudent.
The MACD is positive but contracting, RSI is neutral at 50.711, and moving averages are converging, suggesting no clear trend. The stock is trading near its pivot level of 29.741, with resistance at 30.329 and support at 29.152.
The company also announced $2.1 billion in capital commitments for 2025, indicating future growth potential.
Analyst downgrades from Scotiabank and Mizuho, citing tenant-related concerns and limited external growth. Q4 2025 financials showed a decline in net income (-1.60% YoY), EPS (-1.72% YoY), and gross margin (-6.07% YoY).
In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 3.79% YoY to $1.01 billion, but net income dropped by 1.60% YoY to $604.76 million. EPS also declined by 1.72% YoY to 0.57, and gross margin fell by 6.07% YoY to 84.1%.
Recent analyst ratings are mixed to negative. Scotiabank downgraded the stock to Sector Perform with a price target of $30, citing tenant-related concerns. Cantor Fitzgerald and Barclays lowered their price targets but maintained Overweight ratings, highlighting the stock's dividend yield and balance sheet strength.
