FFO per diluted share grew 4.5% year over year to $0.46, supported by robust leasing activity, minimal credit loss, and a record signed-but-not-open (SNO) pipeline of $77 million in annual base rent.

What changed

Q1 2026 FFO per diluted share rose to $0.46, up 4.5% YoY; reported EPS of $0.23 beat the $0.19 consensus by 19.4%. Revenue of $552.8M exceeded the $542.7M estimate by 1.9%. The SNO pipeline reached an all-time high of $77M in annual base rent. Leasing delivered 576 deals totaling 4.4M sq ft with new lease spreads of 23.8% and blended spreads of 11.3%. Average new lease rent hit a record $29/sq ft. Occupancy held at 96.3%. Management raised same-site NOI growth guidance and tightened the full-year FFO range. Capital recycling continued with ground-lease sales and a $2.2B liquidity position.

Guidance delta

Management raised guidance from the prior quarter's maintained stance. Same-site NOI growth expectations were increased and the full-year FFO range was tightened, reflecting higher confidence in near-term earnings visibility driven by the record SNO pipeline and grocery-anchored redevelopment momentum. Prior-quarter guidance had projected 2.3-4.5% FFO growth and 2.5-3.5% same-site NOI growth for full-year 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Q1 2026 FFO of $0.46/share grew 4.5% YoY, driven by higher minimum rents and low credit loss
  • Record SNO pipeline of $77M in annual base rent provides strong cash-flow visibility
  • Leasing activity remained robust with 576 deals and 4.4M sq ft at new lease spreads of 23.8%
  • Management raised same-site NOI guidance and tightened the full-year FFO range
  • $2.2B liquidity position supports continued capital recycling and selective acquisitions

Management priorities

  • Accelerate SNO lease commencements, especially in the second half of 2026
  • Complete 15 grocery-anchor redevelopment projects
  • Continue capital-light multifamily activation and joint-venture projects
  • Pursue selective acquisitions and structured investments with ROFO/ROFR rights
  • Maintain disciplined capital recycling from low-growth ground leases into higher-yield assets

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
