Getty Realty Corp. is a publicly traded net lease real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in the acquisition, financing, and development of convenience, automotive, and other single-tenant retail properties. Its portfolio of roughly 1,269 freestanding properties spans 46 states and Washington, D.C., and includes convenience stores, gas stations, automotive service centers, express car washes, and quick-service restaurants.
The company primarily uses triple-net leases, under which tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance, providing Getty Realty with relatively predictable rental income. Investors follow the stock for its exposure to durable, service-oriented retail real estate, its acquisition-driven growth strategy, and an attractive dividend that recently yielded roughly 7%.
Over the last 30 days, Getty Realty shares have fallen approximately 13%, declining from a closing level of $32.27 in mid-September to about $28.02. The move pushed the stock well below its 52-week high of $36.83 and closer to the lower end of its 52-week range of $25.39 to $36.83.
The recent decline is part of a longer slide. Over the trailing three months, the stock has shed roughly 18%, reversing much of the rally that carried it to a 52-week high in July 2026. The trend has been broadly lower since that peak, marked by intermittent bounces but lower highs and lower lows through September and early October.
The 30-day decline was driven primarily by macro forces rather than company-specific weakness. A climb in Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield approaching 5.2%, combined with oil-driven inflation concerns tied to renewed U.S.-Iran tensions, pressured rate-sensitive real estate names across the board. Net-lease REITs, which compete with fixed income for yield-oriented capital, were particularly exposed to the rise in risk-free rates.
Sentiment also turned more cautious after Weiss Ratings downgraded Getty Realty to a "Hold (C+)" rating on October 9, 2026. Profit-taking following the stock's mid-July run to a 52-week high contributed further selling pressure. Partially offsetting these headwinds, Getty Realty closed a $260.9 million sale-leaseback transaction with Refuel Operating Company covering 41 convenience stores, reinforcing its acquisition pipeline.
Over the past three months, Getty Realty's story has been defined by solid fundamentals meeting a difficult rate environment. In late July, the company reported second-quarter results, posting adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $0.62 per share, up 5.1% year over year, and raising its full-year 2026 AFFO guidance to a range of $2.52 to $2.54 per share from a prior range of $2.50 to $2.52. Revenue of $59.05 million beat expectations, while net earnings of $0.36 per share came in slightly below consensus.
Despite these positive developments, the broader repricing of REITs as interest rates rose outweighed company-specific progress. The stock's rally into July gave way to a multi-month unwind as investors rotated away from yield-sensitive equities, even as Getty Realty continued to expand annualized base rent and maintained portfolio occupancy of 99.8%.

The most immediate catalyst is Getty Realty's third-quarter 2026 earnings report, scheduled for October 21, 2026. Investors will be watching AFFO per share, acquisition activity, and any update to full-year guidance. Beyond earnings, the trajectory of Treasury yields and oil prices will remain central, since further rate increases could keep pressure on the stock's multiple, while stabilization could support a recovery.
Company-specific factors to monitor include the pace of sale-leaseback and acquisition closings, tenant rent coverage, dividend coverage and sustainability, and any additional analyst rating changes. As with all REITs, interest-rate policy, inflation trends, and broader real estate sentiment will play an outsized role in near-term price action.
