Prologis raises full-year forecast, cites stabilizing demand
Oct 16 (Reuters) -Real estate investment trust (REIT) Prologis PLD.N raised the lower end of its full-year forecast for adjusted core funds from operations on Wednesday due to strong long-term demand drivers, sending its shares up 1.5% in premarket.
The warehouse-focused REIT said the decline in business activity, which began after a downturn in freight demand post pandemic due to persistent inflation and high interest rates, is now stabilizing.
"The bottoming process is underway as our customers navigate an uncertain environment," said Prologis CEO Hamid R. Moghadam.
The company, after also trimming the top end, expects its 2024 adjusted core funds from operations to be in a range of $5.49 to $5.53 per share, versus previous estimates of $5.46 to $5.54 per share.
It reported a quarterly net earnings per diluted share of $1.08 per share, compared with analysts' average estimates of 63 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The company said its rental revenues for the third quarter rose to $1.90 bln from $1.78 bln a year earlier.
The San Francisco, California-based company's total revenue was $2.04 billion, up from $1.92 billion a year ago. Analysts on average had expected a topline of $1.95 billion.
Prologis, which operates in 19 countries, counts Amazon AMZN.O, Home Depot HD.N, FedEx FDX.N and UPS UPS.N as its biggest customers, according to its latest annual report.
