Prologis (NYSE:PLD) Posts Earnings Results, Hits Expectations

Prologis (NYSE:PLD) issued its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The real estate investment trust reported $1.44 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, hitting analysts’ consensus estimates of $1.44, Zacks reports. Prologis had a net margin of 36.71% and a return on equity of 5.55%. The business had revenue of $2.25 billion during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $2.09 billion. During the same quarter in the previous year, the firm earned $1.42 earnings per share. The business’s revenue was up 7.8% compared to the same quarter last year. Prologis updated its FY 2026 guidance to 6.000-6.200 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Prologis’ conference call:

• Prologis reported strong operational momentum — signed 57 million sq ft of leases in 4Q, finished the year near 95.8% occupancy, and delivered net effective rent change that added roughly $60M of annualized NOI and drove >50% rent change for the year.
• Data-center push is accelerating: the company expanded power access to 5.7 gigawatts, has ~1.2 GW in LOIs, expects data centers to represent ~40% of 2026 starts, and is evaluating a dedicated data-center funding vehicle.
• Strategic capital activity picked up with the IPO of the China C-REIT, formation of new U.S. development/value?add vehicles, and an anchor close for the U.S. Agility Fund, broadening AUM and fee-income prospects.
• 2026 guidance: Core FFO of $6.00–$6.20 per share (GAAP EPS $3.70–$4.00), average occupancy guide of 94.75%–95.75%, and $4–$5B of owned & managed starts (with seasonal Q1 occupancy weakness expected).
• Headwinds remain — an 18% lease mark?to?market (~$800M of embedded NOI), ongoing stabilization/FDLA drag (including Duke-related tail), and multi?year utility timelines for power could constrain near-term FFO upside.
