Analysis · LXP · Real Estate & Construction
Steady operations mark LXP's Q2, with Adjusted Company FFO reaching $0.84 per share, a $103.2 million Phoenix acquisition, and robust leasing spreads. Yet the pending $5.2 billion all-cash acquisition by Brookfield and CPP Investments at $61.20 per share dominates the outlook. The common dividend has been suspended per the merger agreement, and the stock trades just below the deal price, leaving limited upside unless a competing bid emerges during the go-shop period ending August 28.
