Q3 EPS of $0.11 Comes With Full-Year Guidance Cut as Merger Vote Looms
IRT is trading near its 52-week low of $14.33 (4.3% above the low).
Summary
IRT reported Q3 net income of $25.1 million and EPS of $0.11, with adjusted EBITDA of $95.1 million edging past the $94.1 million IBES estimate. The 8-K filed alongside the release shows CFFO per share of $0.29 and same-store NOI growth of 1.6%, but full-year EPS guidance was cut to $0.18-$0.xx, and property revenue growth is now guided to just 1.6-1.8%. The stock sits near its 52-week low of $14.33, so soft fundamentals land at a bad time. All of this is backdrop to the $8.1B all-stock merger with Centerspace, which activist Ancora Holdings opposes and shareholders vote on November 10, 2026. The dividend stays at $0.18.
