The large impairment charge and declining same-property NOI confirm ongoing pressure from lease expirations and tenant wind-downs. The 2027 lease expiration wall (1.4M RSF, $100.5M rent) with 9-24 months expected downtime will likely keep occupancy and NOI under pressure through 2027. Monitor the pace of leasing of vacant space and the execution of the $2.6B disposition pipeline to gauge whether leverage targets remain achievable.

Executive Summary
Alexandria Real Estate Equities reported 3Q26 FFO per share (as adjusted) of $1.54, in line with the $1.52 consensus, and total revenue of $671.2M, above the $658.6M estimate. However, the quarter included $637.9M in real estate impairment charges tied to assets held for sale, driving a GAAP net loss of $3.74 per share. Same-property NOI declined 6.7% YoY (2.8% on a cash basis) due to lower occupancy from key lease expirations. The company maintained its full-year 2026 FFO guidance midpoint of $6.40 per share and its 4Q26 leverage target of 5.6x-6.2x, while completing $717M in dispositions and extending its line of credit to 2032.
