Bullish Case: FCPT's fortress net-lease portfolio, near-full occupancy, and accretive acquisitions (Fogo de Chão, NVA) support a gradual re-rating. Long-dated calls look reasonably priced as cash flow remains resilient; fair value around 28–29 implies ~6–12% upside if the macro stays supportive. Helium graphs show balanced long-term IV and limited tail risk. Past Beat/Raise calls have been mixed, underscoring ongoing uncertainty.

Bearish Case: Macro headwinds and casual-dining concentration raise downside risk. A miss or rent impairment could push FCPT toward the low 20s; elevated near-term IV flags tail risk not priced in; in a risk-off backdrop, valuation multiple compression could weigh on FCPT. The price action has been flat recently.

Potential Outcomes:

1. Beat/raise (25%): FFO growth >3% y/y; press release within 3 trading days; price +3% to +6% (falsifiable: no beat and no press).
2. In-line (40%): FFO flat to +2%; occupancy steady; price 0% to +4%.
3. Miss (25%): FFO down; price -6% to -12% (falsifiable: if FFO beats, this fails).
4. Strategic re-rate (10%): disclosed buyer or acquisition; price +8% to +15% (falsifiable: absence of such news).
