Summary

  • VICI Properties offers unique exposure to booming Las Vegas gaming real estate, with stable, long-term triple net leases and a strong income profile.
  • The REIT's growth is driven by accretive acquisitions and diversification into new leisure and tribal partnerships, boosting EBITDA and revenue impressively.
  • Risks include high tenant concentration, reliance on the gaming sector, and sensitivity to interest rates, though most debt is fixed-rate and inflation-protected.
  • With a 5.25% yield, attractive valuation, and robust margins, I believe VICI is a buy for income investors seeking Las Vegas exposure without operational hassles.

As a detail-oriented investor with a strong foundation in finance and business writing, I focus on analyzing undervalued and disliked companies or industries that have strong fundamentals and good cash flows. I have a particular interest in sectors such as Oil&Gas and consumer goods. Basically, anything that has been unloved for unjustified reasons that could offer substantial returns. Energy Transfer is one of those companies that I came across when no one wanted to touch it and now I can't resolve myself to sell it. I will always focus more on long-term value investing but I can sometimes lose myself in possible deal arbitrage such as with Microsoft/ Activision Blizzard, Spirit Airlines/Jetblue (that one still hurts), and Nippon/U.S. Steel (perfect exit at $50.19). I tend to shun businesses that I can't understand either high-tech or certain consumer goods such as fashion (give me a Levi's jeans). I don't understand why anyone would invest in cryptocurrencies as well. Through Seeking Alpha, I aim to connect with like-minded investors, share insights, and build a collaborative community of individuals seeking superior returns and informed decision-making, currently on a quest to review every public company.
