Global Net Lease (NYSE:GNL) announced on January 2, 2026, that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.190 per share.
The dividend is payable on January 16, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 12, 2026.
The declaration marks a period of stability for the internally managed REIT following a transformational 2025.
Based on the current stock price of approximately $8.60, the annualized dividend of $0.76 represents a yield of roughly 8.8%.
The company typically pays dividends in arrears during the first month following each fiscal quarter.
The dividend announcement comes just days after GNL successfully closed the sale of the McLaren Campus in the U.K. for £250 million ($318 million), a transaction that effectively concluded the company's multi-year strategic disposition program.
Since 2024, GNL has offloaded approximately $3.3 billion in non-core assets to pivot toward a pure-play, single-tenant net lease model.
Management has utilized the proceeds from these sales to aggressively de-lever, reducing net debt by approximately $2 billion over the past 18 months.
These efforts were rewarded in late 2025 with an upgrade to an investment-grade BBB- credit rating from Fitch Ratings, a milestone that GNL expects will lower its cost of capital as it shifts back toward growth in 2026.
