Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. (EPRT) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $27.91 the price implies FFO a share growing −0.1% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 4.5% a year over the last five years. The price asks for 4.7 points a year less than its five-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 1.5%.

In December 2020 the price assumed 6.5% a year; Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. went on to grow FFO a share 4.5% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc.’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales. It reported AFFO of $0.51 a share for Q3 2026.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

EPRT trades at 1.33× P/B, against a 10-year average of 1.31× (range 0.73×–1.64×). That is dearer than 63% of the last 8 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $27.34 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
