capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- The company controls 3 additional land sites intended for development land site purchases this year, expected to create significant shareholder value. - Developments are focused on selective projects where economics make sense; Baker development in Denver is on hold pending market improvements. - No immediate urgency to start new developments that don't meet return criteria, emphasizing capital discipline for shareholder benefit. - Acquisition opportunities are active, with $250 million awarded recently, targeting $1 billion in acquisitions aligned with capital allocation goals. - Share repurchases remain a top capital use, with $693 million bought back between 2025 and 2026 at a 6.4% FFO yield; no additional repurchases are currently in 2026 guidance, but capacity exists post-California sale. - California portfolio sales proceeds (~60%) to be reinvested via 1031 exchanges into Sunbelt markets, focusing on high-demand, high-growth areas. - Capital deployment balances share repurchases, acquisitions, and development projects based on market conditions and shareholder value creation.

revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Recovery expected to mirror post-GFC pattern with several years of strong growth. - Anticipated "hockey stick" recovery in late 2026 as excess supply absorbs. - 2027 expected to show steady, strong growth in revenue and operating fundamentals. - Supply completions declining gradually from 200,000 units in 2025 to 120,000 in 2028, supporting demand absorption. - Robust demand in Sunbelt markets driven by job growth, population inflows, and corporate relocations. - Leasing velocity and revenue management are improving with better data and operating models. - Concessions are decreasing as supply tightens, supporting rent growth. - Controlled capital deployment supports acquisitions and developments in high-demand markets. - Development projects like Baker are on hold until market conditions improve to maximize shareholder value.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Reaffirmed full-year core FFO per share guidance midpoint at $6.75, with Q2 expected between $1.65-$1.69, a slight sequential decline due to seasonal and timing expenses. - Positive trend expected with a strong third quarter in 2026 as supply absorption improves. - Anticipation of an atypical better fourth quarter in 2026 due to declining new supply. - Projected hockey-stick-like recovery in late 2026, followed by steady, strong growth in 2027, similar to post-GFC patterns with consistent NOI growth. - No new share repurchases included in 2026 guidance, but capacity exists for future buybacks post-California transaction. - Continued absorption of supply combined with strong demand in key Sunbelt markets supports revenue and NOI growth outlook. - First-quarter performance strong but partially timing-related; expect improving lease trade-out fundamentals as peak leasing season progresses.
