Tom Catherwood has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight COPT Defense Properties’ strong performance and strategic alignment with defense spending trends. The company reported a solid second quarter in 2025, surpassing both internal and market expectations with its recurring funds from operations per share. This was attributed to increased revenue and improved occupancy rates, which reached their highest level in six quarters.
Furthermore, COPT Defense Properties has shown promising growth in its development pipeline and benefited from recent government budget allocations to defense. The management’s ability to consistently exceed expectations and their conservative yet optimistic guidance for the fiscal year further reinforce the company’s positive outlook. These factors, combined with strong tenant retention and efficient leasing operations, underpin Catherwood’s confidence in the company’s future performance.
