Global Net Lease Credit Ratings Upgraded By S&P Global
Global Net Lease (NYSE: GNL) announced that S&P Global has upgraded its corporate credit rating to BB+ from BB and raised its issue-level rating on unsecured notes to investment-grade BBB- from BB+. The upgrades follow GNL's successful $1.8 billion sale of its multi-tenant portfolio, which enabled significant debt reduction.
The company's streamlined portfolio now features diversified, long-term triple-net leases with a broad tenant base, minimal near-term lease expirations, and high occupancy. CEO Michael Weil emphasized the company's commitment to further strengthen its financial position through continued leverage reduction and lowering cost of capital in the second half of 2025 and beyond.

Il portafoglio ottimizzato dell'azienda presenta ora contratti di locazione triple-net a lungo termine, diversificati con una vasta base di inquilini, scadenze di locazione a breve termine minime e un'alta occupazione. Il CEO Michael Weil ha sottolineato l'impegno della società a rafforzare ulteriormente la propria posizione finanziaria attraverso la riduzione continua della leva finanziaria e l'abbassamento del costo del capitale nella seconda metà del 2025 e oltre.
