About Stephen Horn
In a January 2025 interview at Nareit's REITworld conference, NNN REIT CEO Steve Horn discussed the company's outlook for 2025. Horn stated that 2024 was set up with a "light Capital markets footprint" and that 2025 would likely see a return to a "normal run rate of Acquisitions." He identified opportunities with current tenants in sectors like auto service and convenience stores, while citing challenges including uncertainty in capital markets and the direction of the 10-year Treasury yield following the recent election. Horn noted that common investor questions centered on funding sources and debt markets, as well as potential consumer softening and its effect on the portfolio. He emphasized that NNN REIT is "kind of self-funded," pointing to approximately $2 million of free cash flow and dispositions as covering the company's equity needs. Horn also said the company has spent time analyzing portfolio sales trends in light of the consumer environment.
