COPT Defense Q2 Net Income Beats by 30%, Raises Full-Year FFO Guidance
CDP sits 42% above its 52-week low of $26.91.
Summary
COPT Defense Properties delivered a strong Q2, with net income of $48.56M beating consensus by 30% and adjusted FFO per share rising 4.4% to $0.71. Management raised full-year FFO guidance to $2.76-$2.80 and EPS to $1.39-$1.43, citing robust demand from defense spending and 7.4% same-property NOI growth. This follows a solid Q1 that included significant debt repayment, reinforcing the REIT's operational momentum. The stock is trading near its 52-week high, and the raised outlook suggests the premium valuation may be justified if defense budgets continue to expand.
