The net lease sector, with a market cap of ~$100B, has significant growth potential in diverse sub-categories like health & fitness, casinos, and data centers.

EPRT leads the net lease sector due to its unique business model focusing on middle-market, sale-leaseback transactions, and proactive risk management. Essential Properties' low cost of equity, cheap debt, and low AFFO payout ratio enable it to maximize investment spreads and outperform competitors.
