Four Corners Continues Its Acquisition Spree to Boost Portfolio

Four Corners Property Trust FCPT recently announced the acquisition of a Tires Plus property for $1.7 million.

The property is located in a highly trafficked corridor in Georgia. Priced at a 7.4% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs, the property is corporate-operated under a triple-net lease with approximately three years remaining.

Four Corners also acquired an automotive service property for $5.8 million. Leased to a national operator, this newly constructed property is located in a highly trafficked corridor in Texas. Priced at a 6.8% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs, the property is under a corporate long-term, triple-net lease. This will help secure FCPT's long-term cash flows.

These acquisitions highlight the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, which will aid future revenue growth.

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.

In the last week of May 2025, FCPT announced the acquisition of the Christian Brothers Automotive property through a sale-leaseback for $4.3 million. The company also acquired an automotive service property for $5.3 million.

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 an elevated 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 1.7% compared with the industry's fall of 0.6%.
