  • NNN REIT trades at discount to DCF-based value; price US$42.64 vs intrinsic US$77.61
    January 18, 2026, 12:18 PM EST. NNN REIT trades at US$42.64, with 7-day, 30-day and YTD gains of 3.9%, 7.2% and 7.9%. Over 1 year it's up 12.8% and 5 years 37.6%. Simply Wall St assigns a valuation score of 5/6, citing the stock as undervalued on most checks. A two-stage DCF framework uses trailing free cash flow of about $616.6 million and projects $977.6 million in 2035, yielding an intrinsic value of US$77.61 per share and a 45.1% discount to the current price. The takeaway is that the stock looks undervalued on this model, though investors weigh the stability of a REIT against growth prospects; outcomes depend on cash-flow assumptions.
