Four Corners Continues Its Acquisition Spree to Boost Portfolio

Four Corners Property Trust FCPT recently acquired the Bojangles property for $2.2 million. This acquisition highlights the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, which will aid revenue growth.

The property is located in a strong retail corridor in Tennessee. Priced at a 7.1% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs, the property is corporate-operated under a long-term triple-net lease with nearly six years of term remaining.

FCPT: In a Snapshot

This real estate investment trust (REIT), mainly engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has a track record of acquisitions.

This month, FCPT announced the acquisition of four Burger King properties through a sale-leaseback for $8.1 million from Ampler Restaurant Group. It also acquired Mavis Tire Property for $2.6 million this month.

The above purchases fall in line with FCPT’s strategy of structuring a portfolio that will withstand varied economic cycles. However, the company’s expansion may face potential headwinds in a high-interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs high.

In the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have declined 3.8% against the industry's growth of 3.9%.
