Vici Properties
Vici Properties' revenue rose 4.1% to $4.0 billion in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was 69.3%, down from 69.6% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $2.5 billion, up 5.7%. It paid out $1.9 billion in dividends and buybacks, 74% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 1.4%.
Net margin is net income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Vici Properties does
VICI Properties is a real estate investment trust that owns gaming, hospitality, wellness, entertainment and leisure properties and leases them to operators under long-term triple net leases. In a triple net lease, the tenant pays the property's taxes, insurance and upkeep on top of rent. As of December 31, 2025, VICI owned 93 properties, 54 of them gaming properties, across the United States and Canada.
Its tenants run well-known casino resorts, including Caesars Palace Las Vegas, MGM Grand and the Venetian Resort. Its properties have about 60,300 hotel rooms and more than 500 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and sportsbooks. VICI says its properties are fully leased, with a weighted average lease term, counting extension options, of about 39.6 years.
VICI earns rent from these leases. It also lends to and partners with developers and operators in other leisure sectors, such as Great Wolf Resorts, Kalahari Resorts and Lucky Strike Entertainment. It owns land near the Las Vegas Strip that it leases to Caesars, and four golf courses.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Having a large share of its revenue come from the Las Vegas Strip rather than from many places.
- Risks from properties outside the United States, on tribal land, or under ground leases.
- Natural disasters and extreme weather that could damage its properties.
- Operating its properties under brand names that it does not own.
- Higher interest rates and tight credit markets that raise its cost of funding growth and debt.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share

Valuation
Two ways to value Vici Properties yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Vici Properties' 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Vici Properties' fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $2.5B, net cash of −$17.0B at December 31, 2025 and 1,063 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Vici Properties: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 15.5% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 9% for a business of moderate risk (Hotel & Resort REITs); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Careful. Vici Properties' P/E today, 9.3×, is less than half the example multiple. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: its latest earnings include large one-off items, such as a tax benefit or a gain on a sale, or investors expect its earnings to fall. Either way the examples can mislead, so they aren't set against the share price. Check the earnings in its latest filings before using them.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Vici Properties' earnings per share of $2.57 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 28.1×, the middle of Vici Properties' own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (the Real Estate median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
