Broadstone Net Lease is a real estate company that owns hundreds of commercial properties across the United States. It rents those buildings to businesses in industries like healthcare, restaurants, industrial manufacturing, and retail. The tenants are typically large, established companies that need physical locations to run their operations.

Broadstone makes money by collecting rent from its tenants under long-term "net lease" agreements, which means tenants pay most of the property expenses like taxes and insurance on top of rent. This structure gives Broadstone predictable, steady income. The company operates almost entirely in the United States and has a portfolio of roughly 800 properties, giving it geographic and industry diversification as a competitive advantage. The main risk Broadstone faces is rising interest rates, which increase its borrowing costs and make its dividend yield less attractive to investors compared to safer alternatives like bonds.
