The Core FFO miss and weak same-store NOI suggest underlying operational softness. The maintained 2026 Core FFO guidance implies management expects improvement, but the widened net loss forecast adds uncertainty. Watch for the strategic review update expected by Q2 earnings, which could be a catalyst. The dividend is safe at the current payout ratio of 68.8%.
