Action:ReiteratedDate:02/15/26
The score reflects strong technical momentum and a positive earnings outlook (high occupancy, embedded NOI, and active development pipeline), balanced against mixed 2025 financial quality signals (margin compression, higher leverage, and weaker cash flow coverage) and a relatively expensive valuation (high P/E).
Positive Factors
Global scale & market leadership
Prologis’s global platform and large, diversified portfolio provide durable competitive advantage: scale drives tenant diversification, pricing power in tight markets, lower idiosyncratic risk, and broad capital access that supports development and strategic capital activities over multiple cycles.
Strong leasing & embedded rent growth
Sustained high leasing volume, elevated occupancy and sizable embedded NOI create persistent revenue tailwinds. Embedded mark-to-market gives multi-year cashflow visibility, supporting FFO and dividend capacity even if new leasing moderates.
Large development pipeline & data center/energy platforms
A material development pipeline and growing data center/energy capabilities diversify revenue and create higher-return, strategic inventory. Power and energy scale are structural differentiators that can drive premium rents and fee-bearing opportunities over years.
Negative Factors
Rising leverage
Increasing leverage reduces financial flexibility for a capital‑intensive REIT and raises refinancing and interest-rate sensitivity. Higher debt levels constrain optionality for opportunistic acquisitions or development during stress periods and pressure credit metrics.
Margin compression & lower strategic capital income
Compression of gross and operating margins plus a drop in strategic-capital fees weakens capital‑light earnings (AFFO/FFO). This mix shift reduces resilience of cash returns and may temper dividend growth if strategic capital recovers slowly.
Data center power timing risk
Execution and utility-timing risks for data-center projects can delay revenue realization and extend capital deployment cycles. Lumpy, multi-year timelines increase development risk, capital carry costs, and uncertainty around when higher-margin data center income will materialize.

Prologis Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionPrologis, Inc. is the global leader in logistics real estate with a focus on high-barrier, high-growth markets. As of December 31, 2020, the company owned or had investments in, on a wholly owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 984 million square feet (91 million square meters) in 19 countries. Prologis leases modern logistics facilities to a diverse base of approximately 5,500 customers principally across two major categories: business-to-business and retail/online fulfillment.
How the Company Makes MoneyPrologis generates revenue primarily through rental income from its extensive portfolio of industrial properties. The company leases its facilities to a variety of tenants, including major e-commerce companies and logistics providers, on both short-term and long-term contracts. Additionally, Prologis earns revenue through property management services and development projects, where it builds new facilities for lease or sale. The company also engages in strategic partnerships and joint ventures to enhance its market position and expand its property offerings. Factors contributing to its earnings include the growing demand for logistics space driven by e-commerce growth, a favorable supply-demand balance in key markets, and its strong operational efficiency.

Chart InsightsPrologis has shown consistent growth in its building metrics, with a notable uptick since 2022. This aligns with their record leasing activity and strategic expansion in data centers, as highlighted in the latest earnings call. Despite some challenges like elevated bad debt and market rent declines, the company's strong leasing performance and data center investments suggest a robust demand environment and potential for continued growth. The guidance for increased development starts and solid financial results further underscore Prologis's positive outlook.

Prologis Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 21, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 21, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented multiple strong operational and financial achievements: robust leasing (57M sq ft in Q4), high occupancy (≈95–96%), significant rent momentum and embedded NOI (~$800M at 18% mark-to-market), a growing data center power pipeline (5.7 GW) and energy milestone (1.1 GW installed). Management also provided constructive 2026 guidance and reported progress in strategic capital (CREIT IPO, Agility Fund). Headwinds discussed were largely timing and normalization issues—seasonal Q1 occupancy dip, normalization of rent-change contribution, drag from recent acquisition, and data center power procurement timelines—all of which management believes are manageable and part of a multi-year growth setup. On balance, highlights substantially outweigh the lowlights, reflecting operational strength and strategic optionality.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Leasing Activity and High Occupancy
Signed 57 million square feet of leases in Q4; average owned & managed occupancy 95.3% for the quarter, 95.0% for the full year, and period-end 95.8%; retention rate of 78% and U.S. outperformance expanded to ~300 basis points versus the market.
Significant Rent Momentum and Embedded NOI
Net effective rent change was +44% for the quarter (contributing ~ $60 million of annualized NOI) and >50% for the year; net effective lease mark-to-market ended at 18% representing nearly $800 million of embedded NOI yet to be realized.
Same-Store NOI Outperformance
Same-store NOI growth of 4.7% on a net effective basis and 5.7% on a cash basis in Q4; full year net effective same-store growth of 4.8%, at the top end of guidance.
Active and Disciplined Capital Deployment
Sold ~ $900 million of value-maximized assets and acquired ~ $625 million at attractive discounts to replacement cost, generating a ~150 basis point positive spread in expected IRR; development starts of $1.1 billion in Q4 and $3.1 billion for the year (61% build-to-suit for the year).
Energy Milestone Achieved
Installed capacity for the energy business reached 1.1 gigawatts, surpassing the one-gigawatt goal set four years ago, with plans to continue adding capacity across the portfolio.
Expanding Data Center Platform and Power Pipeline
Expanded data center power access to 5.7 gigawatts, stabilized 72 megawatts of projects, sold a turnkey facility at compelling economics, and reported ~1.2 gigawatts in LOI or pending lease execution; guidance assumes ~40% of 2026 development starts will be data center-related.
Strong Market Fundamentals and Demand
U.S. net absorption of 59 million square feet in Q4, contributing to U.S. vacancy decline to 7.4%; evidence of vacancy peaking and rents beginning to inflect across many markets; international outperformance with Japan occupancy >97% (≈600 bps outperformance), Europe posting first quarter of positive rental growth in two years, and robust LatAm consumption.
Capital Raising and Strategic Capital Progress
Completed IPO of China AMC Prologis Logistics REIT (CREIT) on Shenzhen Stock Exchange and held anchor closing for U.S. Agility Fund; formed two new investment vehicles (U.S. and China), expanding strategic capital AUM and fee-generating opportunities.
Guidance and Financial Positioning
Provided initial 2026 guidance: average occupancy 94.75%–95.75%; net effective same-store growth 4.25%–5.25% (cash 5.75%–6.75%); development starts $4.0–$5.0 billion (≈40% data centers); core FFO guidance $6.00–$6.20 per share (including net promote) and GAAP EPS $3.70–$4.00.
Negative Updates
Seasonal and Near-Term Occupancy Drag
Guidance includes an expectation for a seasonal drop in occupancy in Q1 2026 before rebuilding over the year; management forecasted only a modest average occupancy increase (guide centered near 95%), indicating near-term drag.
FFO Growth Offsets and Drag
Noted offsets that could limit FFO growth in 2026 including deployment drag from lighter prior-year starts and a long-tail drag from the Duke acquisition that is expected to reduce net effective same-store growth by ~75–100 basis points for several years.
Data Center Power Timing and Execution Risk
Power procurement is time-consuming and lumpy: projects can require 12–36 months of utility negotiations before reaching a 'secured' power agreement and another 1–2 years to construct infrastructure, creating timing risk for data center starts and realizations.
Elevated Market Vacancy and Regional Weakness
U.S. market vacancy remained elevated at 7.4% at year-end with pockets of weakness (notably Southern California historically soft, though improving); recovery is heterogeneous across markets and submarkets.
Normalization of Rent-Change Contribution
Management expects rent-change contribution to normalize in 2026 with net effective rent change assumed to be in the high 30s to ~40% (down from >50% in 2025), reducing one prominent tailwind from 2025 levels.
Limited Near-Term Income from Energy/Solar
Although installed capacity exceeded 1 GW, management noted energy/solar revenue remains modest relative to $6.7 billion of rental NOI today and is a longer-term growth contributor rather than a near-term earnings lever.
Company Guidance
Prologis gave initial 2026 guidance calling for average occupancy of 94.75%–95.75% (with a seasonal Q1 dip), net effective same‑store growth of 4.25%–5.25% (cash 5.75%–6.75%), G&A of $500M–$520M, strategic capital revenue of $650M–$670M, owned & managed development starts of $4.0B–$5.0B (with ~40% of that activity expected to be data centers), acquisitions of $1.0B–$1.5B, combined contributions and dispositions of $3.25B–$4.25B, GAAP EPS of $3.70–$4.00, and core FFO of $6.00–$6.20 per share (or $6.05–$6.25 excluding net promote expense).

Prologis Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong revenue expansion and consistently high profitability support the score, but it is tempered by 2025 margin compression, rising leverage (debt-to-equity up to ~0.66), and weaker 2025 cash flow quality (free cash flow decline and operating cash flow covering net income at ~0.84x).
Income Statement
83
Very Positive
Revenue has expanded strongly over the period, including a sharp acceleration in 2025 (2025 revenue growth ~60% vs. ~2% in 2024). Profitability remains very high for the group with solid gross and operating margins, and net income is substantial. The main offset is margin compression in 2025 versus 2024 (gross, operating, and net margins all stepped down), which signals some mix/expense headwinds after a very strong 2024 margin profile.
Balance Sheet
72
Positive
The capital base is sizable with equity over $53B and assets near $99B (2025), supporting balance-sheet flexibility. Leverage is meaningful but not extreme for a REIT: debt-to-equity rose to ~0.66 in 2025 from ~0.58 in 2024, reflecting faster debt growth than equity. Returns on equity are steady but modest (~6–7% recently), suggesting profitability is solid yet not translating into high equity returns, and the rising leverage trend is a key watch item.
Cash Flow
64
Positive
Operating cash generation is strong and free cash flow has generally tracked operating cash flow closely in 2023–2025, indicating good cash conversion. However, free cash flow growth turned sharply negative in 2025 (down materially vs. 2024), and cash flow covered net income less than 1x in 2025 (coverage ~0.84), implying earnings outpaced near-term operating cash generation that year. Prior years showed healthier coverage above 1x, so 2025 looks more like a dip than a long-term pattern, but it still weighs on the score.

Prologis Posts Higher 2025 Revenue Amid Earnings Decline
Negative
Jan 21, 2026

On January 21, 2026, Prologis reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, showing total 2025 revenues of $8.79 billion, up from $8.20 billion in 2024, driven primarily by higher rental income, while strategic capital revenues declined year over year. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders fell to $3.32 billion in 2025 from $3.73 billion a year earlier, and both core funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations decreased modestly, even as adjusted EBITDA rose, highlighting resilient operating performance but a moderation in capital-light fee and development-related income. The company generated $6.7 billion in annual net operating income from its operating portfolio, created an estimated $568 million in value from development stabilizations and paid $3.87 billion in dividends and distributions for 2025, underscoring its continued emphasis on large-scale development, strategic capital management and shareholder returns despite softer promote income and lower realized development gains compared with 2024.

Jan 21, 2026

On January 21, 2026, Prologis reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting steady revenue growth but some pressure on profitability metrics. Total revenues rose to $2.25 billion in the fourth quarter and $8.79 billion for 2025, up from the prior year, driven mainly by higher rental and other revenues, although strategic capital revenues declined. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders increased year-on-year to $1.40 billion for the quarter but fell to $3.32 billion for the full year, while Core FFO and AFFO for both the quarter and full year edged down compared with 2024, reflecting lower strategic capital contributions and reduced development value creation. The company ended 2025 with $230 billion in gross assets under management, $6.7 billion in annualized net operating income on a Prologis share basis, and a sizable $42.6 billion land build-out pipeline, underscoring its scale and ongoing development capacity. Prologis also maintained substantial shareholder returns, paying $3.87 billion in dividends and distributions in 2025, while its balance sheet showed higher debt alongside growing real estate investments, signaling continued capital deployment to support its global logistics platform.
