Gaming and Leisure Properties Announces Q3 2026 Earnings Guidance and Development Strategy
Gaming and Leisure Properties (GLPI) reported its third-quarter 2026 earnings, providing full-year adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) guidance of $4.11 to $4.12 per share. The REIT is currently managing an $800 million annual development pipeline, which management intends to fund through free cash flow and debt rather than equity issuance due to depressed stock valuations. The company maintains a conservative balance sheet with a leverage ratio of 4.8x EBITDA, sitting below its target range of 5.0x to 5.5x. Management highlighted the structural resilience of regional casino revenues, noting that these markets are primarily driven by local employment trends rather than volatile tourism cycles, providing a stable foundation for long-term growth.
