Delisting/Listing Issues
  • NewLake Capital Partners is the second largest owner of cannabis real estate in the U.S., operating as a net lease REIT with a 13% yield on its leased portfolio and a 12-year remaining weighted average lease term.
  • The company has grown its dividend by approximately 80% since its mid-2021 IPO and maintains a target payout ratio of 80%-90% of AFFO, reporting 82% in the most recent quarter. NLCP has ample credit capacity with over $80 million available on its $90 million credit facility and is in a net cash position.
  • Management anticipates continued volatility and distress in the cannabis sector but views Schedule III reclassification as a significant catalyst for potential credit improvement, new investors, and M&A opportunities in 2026 and 2027.
  • NLCP remains on OTC due to its cannabis focus, which limits institutional demand, and Schedule III reclassification alone is not expected to resolve this issue without a change in exchange policy or a safe harbor.

Delisting/Listing Issues
  • NewLake Capital Partners is the second largest owner of cannabis real estate in the U.S., operating as a net lease REIT with a 12-year remaining weighted average lease term and an approximate 13% yield on its leased portfolio. The company owns 34 properties across 12 states, with top tenants including Curaleaf, Cresco, and Trulieve, which represent about half of its annualized base rent.
  • The company maintains a strong financial position with a well-covered dividend (82% payout ratio in the third quarter, targeting 80-90% of Available Funds from Operations) and minimal leverage, being in a net cash position with over $20 million in cash against approximately $7 million outstanding on its $90 million credit facility.
  • NLCP is actively working to re-tenant three properties (two from Ayr in Pennsylvania and Nevada, one from Rev Clinics in Massachusetts) for cannabis purposes. The company is also exploring extending its real estate investment capabilities to other highly regulated, complex operating businesses outside of cannabis.
  • The company notes that its stock trades on the OTC market, which limits institutional demand due to custody issues, contributing to a high dividend yield that may not reflect its strong balance sheet and payout ratio.

  • NewLake Capital Partners (NLCP), a net lease REIT in the cannabis sector, owns 34 properties across 12 states with a 12-year remaining weighted average lease term and an approximate 13% yield on its leased portfolio.
  • The company reports a strong financial position, including over $20 million in net cash and a Q3 payout ratio of 82% of Available Funds from Operations (AFFO), well within its 80-90% target range.
  • NLCP's dividend has grown approximately 80% since its mid-2021 IPO, though recent growth has moderated due to a softer cannabis market.
  • Management is actively re-tenanting properties vacated by Ayr and Rev Clinics for cannabis purposes and views the high dividend yield and discount to NAV as primarily a result of its OTC listing, which restricts institutional investment despite meeting major exchange qualifications.
  • The company anticipates that Schedule III rescheduling will act as a significant catalyst, improving credit, attracting new investors, and expanding state cannabis programs, leading to new opportunities in 2026 and 2027.
