Executive Summary
W. P. Carey provided a positive business update, revealing visibility into over $1.9 billion in 2026 investment volume (including ~$1.4B YTD) and an improved outlook for tenant credit-related rent loss from Hellweg, with expected rent recapture close to 100% on re-tenanted stores.
