Camden Property Trust Cuts 2026 FFO Guidance Midpoint by 7.7% on Lease Rate Pressure
CPT is trading near its 52-week low of $96.53 (8.8% above the low).
Summary
Camden Property Trust has significantly lowered the midpoint of its 2026 FFO per share guidance to $6.10 from $6.61, representing a 7.7% reduction. This revised outlook accompanies Q1 results which saw same-property Net Operating Income (NOI) fall by 0.7%. The primary driver for the weaker guidance is pressure on lease rates, with effective new lease rates declining 5.2% year-over-year and blended lease rates down 1.4%. While diluted EPS benefited from a property sale, the FFO guidance cut reflects underlying operational headwinds and a challenging rental market. This material revision to a key REIT metric signals a less favorable outlook for core profitability and could impact investor sentiment and positioning.
