Analysis · CPT · Real Estate & Construction
A $53 million antitrust litigation settlement and a $4.9 million technology investment impairment hammered Camden Property Trust's second-quarter results, driving EPS down to $0.18 from $0.74 a year ago. The company also disclosed a $1.6 billion sale of its California portfolio, a $600 million debt issuance, and a new $350 million term loan. While same-store net operating income held relatively steady, the quarter was dominated by one-time charges and a major strategic exit from California. The balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity, but the earnings miss and legal overhang are significant.
