Prologis (NYSE:PLD) Releases Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.82 EPS

Prologis (NYSE:PLD) announced its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The real estate investment trust reported $1.60 earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.78 by $0.82, Briefing.com reports. The company had revenue of $2.39 billion during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $2.18 billion. Prologis had a return on equity of 7.29% and a net margin of 45.79%. The firm’s revenue for the quarter was up 7.8% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter last year, the firm posted $1.49 EPS. Prologis updated its FY 2026 guidance to 6.250-6.290 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Prologis’ conference call:

• Operating performance remained strong: Core FFO was $1.60 per share, occupancy rose to 95.6%, same-store NOI increased 5.7% on a net effective basis, and rent change on rollover reached 38% net effective. Prologis raised its full-year same-store growth outlook to 5.5%–6% net effective and 7%–7.5% cash.
• Logistics fundamentals are improving: U.S. net absorption was 63 million square feet in the quarter, vacancy declined to 7.1%, and market rents increased for the third consecutive quarter. Management expects constrained new supply because replacement-cost rents are 27% above current market rents.
• Data center growth remains a major opportunity: Prologis has a 5.8-gigawatt pipeline, including 1.7 gigawatts of secured power, with letters of intent covering approximately one gigawatt. Demand from data center-related customers represented 17% of U.S. new leasing and is strengthening.
• Capital deployment guidance increased: The company raised its full-year development-start outlook to $6 billion–$6.75 billion and acquisition guidance to $2.1 billion–$2.3 billion. Prologis also reported $40 billion of future logistics development capacity through owned or controlled land.
• Higher rates are creating near-term capital-markets pressure: Management expects transaction volumes to moderate as buyers and sellers reassess pricing and exit cap rates, while contributions and dispositions guidance was reduced partly because of potential pricing turbulence and deal delays. The company has raised its return hurdles, although 95% of its debt is fixed-rate with roughly eight years of average life remaining.
