Recommendation

hold

This Form 4 reports a routine, non-discretionary acquisition of shares by a director through dividend reinvestment. While it increases insider ownership, it does not reflect a discretionary purchase or provide new material information that would significantly alter the investment thesis for Four Corners Property Trust. Therefore, it does not warrant a change from a 'hold' recommendation based solely on this filing.
