What Getty Realty does

Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE: GTY) is a publicly traded net lease REIT specializing in the acquisition, financing, and development of freestanding single-tenant retail real estate in the convenience, automotive, and related automobility sectors. The company's portfolio of approximately 1,191 properties across 45 states plus Washington, D.C., is leased to national and regional operators under long-term triple-net lease structures in which tenants are responsible for property maintenance, taxes, insurance, and environmental compliance. The portfolio composition is roughly 63% convenience and gas, 21% car wash, 7% legacy gas and repair, 6% auto service, 3% drive-thru QSR, and less than 1% auto parts and other, with 99.8% occupancy, a 10.1-year weighted average lease term, and 1.8% annual rent escalators built into most leases.

The company earns revenue primarily through monthly rental payments from these triple-net leases and additional ancillary income from property operations. Investment economics are driven by sale-leaseback transactions with growing operators, direct property acquisitions (both marketed and programmatic relationships with national tenants such as 7-Eleven, Circle-K, CrossAmerica Partners, BP, Arko, Casey's, Valvoline, Jiffy Lube, and Tidal Wave Auto Spa), build-to-suit development funding, and mortgage/seller financing. Capital deployment is funded via a combination of investment-grade unsecured notes (BBB- Fitch-rated), a $450M revolving credit facility, and public equity offerings through forward sale agreements.

Operationally, Getty is a focused, specialist platform with a New York City headquarters and approximately 30 employees. Management and board continuity is long-tenured, led by CEO Christopher J. Constant (in role since January 2016) and CFO Brian R. Dickman (since December 2020), with a March 2026 CIO transition to Robert J. Ryan. The company has paid dividends for 32 consecutive years and increased its dividend for 12 consecutive years, with Q1 2026 AFFO of $0.63 per share beating analyst expectations by approximately 23%.
