NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc.

NexPoint Residential Trust (NXRT) remains a Hold as leverage increases, guidance declines, and dividend coverage thins despite a widening NAV discount. Q2 2026 results showed modest revenue growth but declining AFFO and same-store NOI, driven by higher interest expenses and softer revenues. NXRT trades at a 47% discount to NAV, but this discount appears structural due to persistent leverage and refinancing risks.
