VICI Properties: Why I Am Selling This Dividend Darling

The article on SeekingAlpha titled "VICI: Why I Am Selling This Dividend Darling" discusses the author's decision to sell shares in VICI Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on gaming and hospitality properties. The author highlights several reasons for this decision: firstly, despite VICI's attractive dividend yield and its status as a "dividend darling," the stock has experienced significant price appreciation, leading to concerns about overvaluation. Secondly, the author points out that while VICI has a strong portfolio and a solid tenant in Caesars Entertainment, the potential for future growth might be limited due to the saturated nature of the gaming industry and regulatory constraints. Additionally, the article mentions the impact of rising interest rates which could increase VICI's cost of capital, potentially affecting its ability to fund new acquisitions or developments. Lastly, the author expresses a preference for reallocating capital into other investments with better growth prospects or more favorable risk-reward profiles, suggesting that the current market conditions and VICI's valuation do not justify holding onto the stock for dividend income alone.
