On November 3, the board of FrontView REIT, Inc. (NYSE:FVR) promoted its chief financial officer, who is also treasurer and secretary, to President, effective the same day, with the existing titles retained. The change came as the net-lease company reported third quarter Earnings of USD 0.08 per share against an estimate of negative USD 0.02, and AFFO of USD 0.33 per share. Chairman and CEO Stephen Preston said the company bought properties at a 7.6% cap rate and that Acquisition yields are projected to move higher in the fourth quarter.

How the Promotion Fits the Quarter

The Leadership change follows a quarter in which the company stayed active on both sides of its portfolio. It acquired 16 properties for USD 50.6 million at an average Capitalization Rate of 7.56% and a weighted average Lease term of 6.4 years, and sold five occupied properties for USD 17.1 million at a 6.56% rate.
