VICI's revenue grew steadily from $957.0M in 2024Q2 to roughly $1.1B in 2026Q2, and NOI margins held between 97.6% and 99.4%, pointing to a durable triple-net lease base.
Price trend, volume and key moving averages
Start with the evidence for owning the stock and the risks that can break the thesis.
Revenue climbed from $957.0M to about $1.1B over ten quarters with NOI margins near ceiling at 97.6% to 99.4%, yet FFO per share ranging from $0.31 to $0.82 suggests earnings quality warrants further investigation.
VICI’s net margin exceeds 69%, reflecting efficient management and strong profitability. The triple‑net lease structure transfers operational risk to tenants, delivering high EBITDA margins and predictable cash flows that are further protected by inflation‑linked escalators.
The company offers a forward dividend yield of about 6.59%, positioning it as a potential Dividend Aristocrat. VICI has a track record of dividend increases, minimal share dilution, and growing AFFO per share, enhancing dividend security.
Beyond gaming real estate, VICI is expanding into college sports infrastructure and entertainment venues, broadening its growth opportunities. This diversification reduces reliance on gaming and makes the business model more resilient to sector disruption.

VICI Properties authorized a $2 billion share buyback, representing 7.7% of shares, capitalizing on a 29% discount to intrinsic value. VICI's AFFO per share has grown consistently, with 2026 guidance at $2.475, and the payout ratio has declined to 74%, enhancing retained cash for buybacks.
