Question #1
Given the market’s skepticism of the Spirit acquisition and the value destruction from the VEREIT/ONL spin-off, will Roy prioritize disciplined integration and per-share value creation over his established playbook of growth-at-any-cost M&A?
Question #2
As the market continues to penalize the stock for its interest rate sensitivity, will Roy demonstrate the capital markets discipline to pivot away from large-scale acquisitions, or will he continue to rely on his deal-focused playbook even if it further pressures the company’s valuation?
Question #3
As Roy deploys billions to execute the European growth strategy, is he exercising true investment discipline, or is the pressure to validate the pivot leading him to accept higher risks than the company has historically tolerated?
