NETSTREIT Corp Achieves BBB- Credit Rating From Fitch Ratings

Key Terms

issuer rating financial

An issuer rating is a standardized assessment of how likely an organization is to meet its financial obligations, similar to a credit score for a borrower. Investors use it to judge risk: higher ratings suggest lower chance of default and typically mean cheaper borrowing costs and lower yields, while lower ratings signal higher risk, potential price volatility for bonds, and a need for closer scrutiny when deciding whether to invest.

liquidity profile financial

A liquidity profile describes how easily and quickly a company or asset can be turned into cash without causing a big change in price, based on things like cash on hand, available credit, and how active the market is for its shares. Investors care because a stronger liquidity profile means the business can pay bills, fund growth, and survive shocks without forced selling or sharp price swings — like having cash in your wallet versus owning a house that takes time to sell.

investment grade rating financial

An investment grade rating is a score assigned by a credit-rating agency indicating that a bond issuer or debt is considered reasonably safe and likely to repay its obligations. Investors treat it like a safety label—similar to a product receiving a good quality seal—because higher ratings mean lower risk of default, usually lower borrowing costs for the issuer, and greater appeal to conservative investors and large funds.

revolving credit financial

Revolving credit is a flexible loan arrangement that lets a borrower draw, repay and redraw funds up to a set limit, much like a corporate credit card. It matters to investors because it provides short-term cash when needed without issuing new debt, affects a company’s liquidity and interest costs, and signals how easily a business can fund operations or weather downturns without selling assets or diluting shareholders.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NETSTREIT Corp. (NYSE: NTST) (the “Company”) today announced that Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) has assigned the Company a BBB- issuer rating with a stable outlook.

According to Fitch’s press release, the BBB- issuer rating reflects the Company’s solid property portfolio and stable operating performance as demonstrated by resilient pandemic-era performance, with occupancy over 99%. In addition, Fitch noted the Company’s solid unit-level rent coverage, minimal credit losses relative to peers, well staggered debt maturities, and a liquidity profile that provides significant flexibility.

“This recognition is a significant achievement for NETSTREIT that affirms our commitment to a conservatively managed balance sheet and low leverage profile, which the Company has consistently maintained since our IPO over five years ago,” said Daniel Donlan, Chief Financial Officer. “Given this inaugural investment grade rating, the Company can now recognize substantial interest expense savings across our revolving credit and term loan facilities as well as more efficiently access certain debt markets.”
