• Negative Sentiment: EPS miss and slightly cautious FY26 guidance — GAAP EPS came in at $0.33 (below the $0.40 consensus), and the updated FY2026 EPS range (4.410–4.440) sits a hair below the Street consensus (~4.450). Those points are weighing on sentiment for investors focused on near‑term EPS and analyst targets. Realty Income reported earnings (MarketBeat)
