Broadstone Net Lease maintains a capital structure characterized by a market capitalization of $3.94 billion and a price-to-book ratio of 1.72. The balance sheet reports total assets of $5.85 billion against total liabilities of $2.82 billion, resulting in total equity of $2.89 billion. The valuation snapshot indicates a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.0, although filing observations confirm significant debt activity, including the completion of a $350.0 million public offering of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due in 2032 and borrowings on an unsecured revolving credit facility. Liquidity is assessed as low, with cash and equivalents standing at $20.31 million. The company generated operating cash flow of $76.09 million and free cash flow of $74.73 million in Q1 2026, supporting capital expenditures of $1.36 million and distributions declared of $59.61 million.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 3.34% and a return on assets of 1.65%. The price-to-earnings ratio stands at 40.8, reflecting the market's valuation of the company's earnings power. Net income for Q1 2026 was $46.37 million, a significant increase from $17.49 million in the same period of the prior year, driven by higher lease revenues of $121.40 million compared to $108.69 million in Q1 2025. The improvement in net income was further aided by the absence of impairment charges on rental properties, which totaled $16.13 million in the prior year period.
- Net income surged to $46.37 million in Q1 2026, up from $17.49 million in Q1 2025, driven by higher lease revenues and the absence of impairment charges.
- The company raised $350.0 million through a public offering of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due in 2032, impacting its debt structure and interest rate swap positions.
- High dilution risk is flagged due to the difference between basic and diluted share counts and the active use of an at-the-market equity offering program.
- Operating cash flow of $76.09 million comfortably covers capital expenditures of $1.36 million and distributions of $59.61 million.
- Analyst sentiment is moderately positive with a mean price target of $22.56, suggesting upside potential from the current market price of $19.71.
Bull / Bear case
Generated · model-assistedBroadstone Net Lease generates best-in-class cash conversion of 3.1, significantly outperforming the 1.12 median for Commercial REITs.
The company's return on equity of 3.34% slightly exceeds the 3.28% median benchmark for its Commercial REIT cohort.
Free cash flow reached $269.8 million in FY2025, demonstrating strong liquidity generation despite fluctuating net income figures.
Liquidity risk is assessed as low, suggesting the company maintains sufficient resources to meet short-term financial obligations.
Net income CAGR of 2.2% from FY2023 to FY2025 indicates modest but positive long-term profitability growth trends.

Revenue declined by 4.9% year-over-year in the latest period, signaling potential weakness in top-line growth momentum.
Return on assets of 1.65% remains low, reflecting limited efficiency in generating profits from total asset base.
