Douglas Emmett Q2 Revenue Edges Up, FFO Flat; Lowers Office Occupancy View
DEI sits 32% above its 52-week low of $9.04.
Summary
Douglas Emmett reported Q2 revenue up slightly year-over-year with FFO per share flat, missing no consensus but showing stability after Q1's net loss and FFO decline. The company lowered 2026 office occupancy guidance to 75%-77% due to the inclusion of the lower-occupancy Studio Plaza property, while also guiding for a net loss of $(0.20)-$(0.16) per share and FFO of $1.39-$1.43. Positively, it signed 960,000 sq ft of leases at rents 3.2% above expiring rates and acquired a Beverly Hills medical office portfolio, signaling demand in select submarkets. The mixed outlook—flat FFO, lowered occupancy, but strong leasing activity—keeps the stock in a holding pattern, consistent with the prevailing analyst consensus of 'hold' and a $13 median target.
