Not a good buy right now for an impatient entry: price is sitting near the pivot (~72.14) while the broader trend is still bearish (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), implying limited immediate upside unless it reclaims resistance.
Near-term price odds lean soft: pattern-based estimate suggests ~-0.92% over the next week vs ~+2.07% over the next month, which is not ideal for an immediate buy.
Earnings (QDEC 2025) on 2026-02-10 after hours is the next clear catalyst; without a bullish technical turn, risk/reward today looks mediocre.
Influential/congress trading check: no recent congress trading data available; hedge funds and insiders show neutral activity (no notable accumulation signal).
Technical Analysis
Trend: Bearish structure with moving averages stacked negatively (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), suggesting the path of least resistance remains sideways-to-down until proven otherwise.
Momentum: MACD histogram at -0.00749 (below zero) but negatively contracting, implying downside momentum is fading—yet not flipped bullish.
RSI(6) = 52.8 (neutral): no oversold condition to justify an “urgent dip-buy.”
Key levels:
Pivot: 72.144 (current price ~72.2 is essentially on it—indecision zone)
Support: 71.066 (S1), then 70.401 (S2)
Resistance: 73.221 (R1), then 73.886 (R2)
Practical read: a cleaner buy setup would be either (1) a breakout/close above ~73.22 (trend improving) or (2) a pullback closer to ~71.07 with stabilization; at 72.2 it’s in the middle.
Options Data
Bearish
Open Interest Put-Call Ratio
Bullish
Option Volume Put-Call Ratio
Positioning/sentiment split:
Open interest put/call = 1.14: slightly more puts outstanding (mildly defensive/hedged positioning).
Volatility: IV (30d) ~22.45 vs historical vol ~11.7; IV percentile 76.4 suggests options are relatively expensive (market pricing more uncertainty into the next month).
Activity: today’s volume (12) is below the 5D/10D averages, so the volume skew is not a high-conviction options “rush.”

Positive Catalysts
Next catalyst: QDEC 2025 earnings on 2026-02-10 after hours (Street EPS est. ~1.07), which can re-rate the stock if guidance/FFO outlook surprises positively.
Fundamentals trend supportive: latest reported quarter showed strong YoY growth in revenue, net income, and EPS.
Momentum stabilization sign: MACD downside pressure is weakening (histogram negative but contracting).
Net income: 50,146,000 (up 18.26% YoY) — profitability growing in step with revenue.
EPS: 0.45 (up 7.14% YoY) — positive growth, but slower than revenue/net income (suggests share count/financing mix or other items dampening per-share growth).
Recent trend: price targets have been mostly trimmed modestly (RBC 80→79, Mizuho 77→75, Evercore 85→83) with one small raise (Barclays 77→78). Net effect: cautious optimism, but less enthusiasm than before.
Wall Street “pros” view: high-quality net lease REIT with steady operating conditions; still gets multiple Outperform/Overweight ratings.
Wall Street “cons” view: upside appears more incremental (targets drifting down), and near-term total return may be capped without a clearer catalyst or improved rate/backdrop.
