Sun Communities reported a mixed Q2. Core FFO of $1.84 per share beat expectations, driven by 6% Same Property NOI growth. However, the bottom line was crushed by a non-cash $1.1 billion write-down on the pending UK sale, resulting in a GAAP loss of $8.08 per share. The company continues to aggressively repurchase shares, with $171M bought back in H1 and another $89M in July. Chairman Gary Shiffman adopted a 10b5-1 plan to sell up to 120,000 shares starting October 1, 2026, which may temper enthusiasm around the buyback.
