In other recent news, ProLogis reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a slight miss on earnings per share (EPS) expectations with actual EPS at $0.63 compared to a forecast of $0.64. However, the company surpassed revenue expectations, bringing in $2.14 billion against the anticipated $1.96 billion. ProLogis also reported a core Funds From Operations (FFO) of $1.42, exceeding both Evercore ISI’s estimate of $1.37 and the consensus of $1.38, due to lower General & Administrative expenses and higher development and management income. Analysts from UBS and Evercore ISI have both set a price target of $106 for ProLogis, with UBS maintaining a Buy rating and Evercore ISI assigning an In Line rating. Despite the strong revenue performance, ProLogis has adjusted its capital deployment guidance, including a reduction in development starts and stabilizations, reflecting ongoing uncertainty in the market. The company has maintained its full-year 2025 core FFO guidance range of $5.65 to $5.81 per share. ProLogis noted a decline in demand since the announcement of tariffs, with leasing activity down by 20%, leading management to maintain the FFO guidance for the year. The average occupancy rate for the company’s properties decreased to 95.2%, aligning with expectations amidst a stressed environment.
