Credit Rating & Investment Grade Status

Labcorp: no confirmed agency rating. A rating is shown here only after an agency rating action or an issuer filing confirms it.

Labcorp’s 2025 Form 10‑K refers to the investment grade credit ratings it holds from Moody’s and S&P Global Ratings. Labcorp’s September 2024 notes were issued by Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings and guaranteed by Labcorp Holdings Inc. (pricing term sheet, September 16, 2024), so confirm which entity signs or guarantees a lease. A rating is an agency opinion of the issuer’s credit, not of a specific lease. For comprehensive information on rating criteria, refer to our investment-grade credit ratings guide.

Lease Structure & Terms

Labcorp lease terms, rent escalations and renewal options vary by property; confirm them in each lease. Expense obligations also vary, so confirm which property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs Labcorp pays.

Patient service center build-outs may include collection rooms, plumbing, electrical work and security systems. Confirm in the lease who owns the improvements and equipment and what the tenant may remove at lease end.

Asking cap rates are not closed-sale cap rates. The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of listings. The 10-year Treasury yield is 5.24% as of October 1, 2026 (FRED series DGS10). Ratings are the agency ratings in our ratings database for the entity shown, which may be a parent company; the rating type (for example issuer, senior unsecured debt, long-term debt or revenue bond ratings) varies by company and is shown on each tenant page. A rating applies to a lease only if the rated entity signs or guarantees it, so confirm the tenant and any guarantor in the lease. n/a means no verified rating is on file. Not shown because fewer than 3 active listings with a published cap rate were observed: Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics, HCA Healthcare.

Pricing varies based on property location, patient service center density in the region, remaining lease term, and local market cap rate trends.

How does Labcorp’s 2,200+ location strategy affect NNN lease risk?

Depreciation and Cost Segregation
When the buyer owns the building, a cost segregation study may reclassify part of the purchase price, such as site improvements and some building systems and equipment, into 5-, 7- or 15-year property. That property can qualify for 100% bonus depreciation under Internal Revenue Code section 168(k) if acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025 (IRS Notice 2026-11). How much qualifies varies widely by property and must be supported by an engineering-based study. On a ground lease the investor owns only land, which cannot be depreciated, and equipment owned by the tenant is not the landlord’s to depreciate. Bonus depreciation is generally recaptured on a taxable sale (Internal Revenue Code sections 1245 and 1250). A 1031 exchange (section 1031) can defer the gain, but depreciation recapture can still be triggered in an exchange when the replacement property does not include enough section 1245 or section 1250 property (sections 1245(b)(4) and 1250(d)(4)). This is general information, not tax advice; consult a tax professional. Medical buildouts can include specialized systems that may qualify for shorter lives, but medical equipment may be owned by the tenant; confirm in the lease. See the Medical NNN Depreciation Guide.
