SL Green Reaffirms 2026 FFO Guidance, Reports Record Q1 Leasing and Rent Growth
Summary
SL Green Realty Corp. reaffirmed its 2026 FFO guidance range of $4.40 to $4.70 per share, signaling stability in its outlook despite reporting a wider Q1 net loss and a decline in FFO per share. The company demonstrated strong operational performance in the first quarter, achieving a record 929,264 square feet in Manhattan office leases, the highest Q1 volume in its history. Notably, replacement leases secured average starting rents 16.1% above previous levels, and Manhattan same-store office occupancy improved to 94.4%. These operational strengths, particularly the robust leasing activity and rent growth, are critical indicators for a REIT's future cash flow and valuation, suggesting underlying business health even as current quarter financials show a loss. Traders will monitor continued execution on leasing and occupancy targets.
