NETSTREIT (NTST) has kicked off its Q1 2026 reporting cycle with investors looking back at a steady run of quarterly numbers, including Q4 2025 revenue of US$52.7 million and basic EPS of US$0.02, supported by the REIT focused measure of Funds From Operations of US$26.6 million. Over the past year, the company has seen revenue move from US$44.1 million in Q4 2024 to US$52.7 million in Q4 2025, while basic EPS shifted from a loss of US$0.07 to a modest profit of US$0.02. This sets the backdrop for a margin story that still hinges on how efficiently cash flows translate into bottom line results.

With the latest figures on the table, the next step is to set these results against the commonly held narratives about NETSTREIT to see which views the numbers support and which they call into question.

FFO Holds Steady Around US$25 Million

• Across the last four reported quarters, Funds From Operations sat in a fairly tight band between US$24.1 million and US$26.6 million, with FFO per share ranging from about US$0.30 to US$0.32.
• Analysts' consensus view that necessity based retail tenants support reliable cash flows lines up with this steady FFO profile,
  • Portfolio commentary points to minimal credit losses and high rent coverage, which fits with FFO remaining close to US$25 million per quarter despite swings in net income.
  • At the same time, the trailing five year earnings decline of 30.1% per year is a reminder that accounting profits have told a weaker story than cash style FFO in recent years.

Profitability Back After One Off Losses

• On a trailing basis, NETSTREIT reported US$6.9 million of net income excluding extra items and basic EPS of US$0.08, a shift from the loss of US$11.9 million and basic EPS of US$0.16 loss recorded in Q4 2024.
• Consensus narrative leans on the idea that disciplined tenant selection and necessity retail exposure support stable earnings,
  • That is partly backed by the return to profitability over the last 12 months, but the US$9.6 million one off loss in the period shows earnings quality is still affected by non recurring items.
  • Bears might point to the 30.1% per year earnings decline over five years as evidence that the recent profit is not yet a long running trend, so it is worth watching whether future quarters look more like the recent US$6.9 million of net income or the earlier losses.

Do your own sense check on whether the recent profit really changes the long term story before leaning too hard into either the bullish or bearish case 🐻 NETSTREIT Bear Case.

Rich Multiples Versus DCF Fair Value

• At a share price of US$20.91, the stock trades on a P/S of 10.4x versus Retail REIT peers at 10x and the broader US Retail REITs industry at 6.9x, while a DCF fair value of about US$51.25 sits far above the current price.
• What stands out for the bullish narrative is the tension between richer sales multiples and the large gap to DCF fair value,
  • Supporters can point to forecast revenue growth of about 10.9% per year and earnings growth of roughly 5.17% per year as inputs that help explain a higher DCF fair value than the market price.
  • Critics highlight that interest payments are not well covered by earnings and that shareholders faced dilution over the past year, which both work against the idea that the current P/S and the implied upside to US$51.25 fully reflect risk.
