Those moves come as sentiment cools a little in the near term, with the 7 day share price return at minus 3.8 percent. However, a 1 year total shareholder return of 20.26 percent and five year total shareholder return of 123.64 percent suggest momentum for the story is still very much intact.
If EPR’s expansion has you thinking about where else capital is quietly compounding, this is a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With shares still trading below analyst targets yet boasting a long run of double digit total returns, the question now is whether EPR remains mispriced value in experiential real estate or if the market already reflects its growth runway.
Against a last close of $50.82, the most followed narrative points to a higher fair value, framing recent deals and guidance upgrades as pivotal.
The company's conservative balance sheet (net debt-to-EBITDAre at the low end of targeted range, well-covered dividend, minimal near-term maturities) and readiness to pursue larger, accretive deals (enabled by improved equity valuation and ATM program) puts EPR in a strong position to capitalize on future opportunities from urban/suburban redevelopment trends, driving FFO and NAV per share growth over the medium to long term.

Result: Fair Value of $58.35 (UNDERVALUED)
