Analysis · SUI · Real Estate & Construction
A steep Q2 net loss of $8.08 per share was entirely driven by a $1.1 billion non-cash valuation allowance on the UK business held for sale. Stripping out that charge, continuing operations earned $0.32 per share, and Core FFO of $1.84 per share beat expectations. Same-property NOI grew 6.0%, powered by manufactured housing, prompting a 20-basis-point raise in full-year same-property NOI growth guidance to 4.5%–5.3%. The balance sheet strengthened with $177.9 million in debt repayment and $111.1 million in share repurchases. The headline loss masks solid operating momentum and a cleaner, post-UK-sale portfolio.
