Piedmont Realty Raises 2026 FFO Outlook on Robust 11.1% Same-Store NOI Growth in Q1
Summary
Piedmont Realty Trust reported strong first-quarter 2026 results, highlighted by an impressive 11.1% year-over-year growth in same-store cash net operating income and significant leasing momentum, including 293,000 square feet of new tenancy. Despite a net loss of $12.9 million, the company's Core FFO reached $46.0 million ($0.36 per diluted share).
