The company seeks to grow its portfolio by acquiring additional real estate to lease, on a net basis.FCPT maintains a healthy balance sheet position and has around $490 million of available liquidity as of Sept. 30, 2025. It also enjoys credit ratings of BBB and Baa3 from Fitch and Moody’s, respectively, enabling it to procure debt financing at attractive costs.Hence, given FCPT’s ability to generate decent cash flows, a lower debt-equity ratio compared with the industry and a solid financial position, we expect the latest dividend rate to be sustainable over the long run.In the past month, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 2.9% compared with the industry's growth of 3.9%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Stocks to ConsiderSome better-ranked stocks from the broader REIT sector are Digital Realty Trust DLR and Public Storage PSA, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.
