Analysis · VNO · Real Estate & Construction
Vornado's Q2 results show a sharp headline earnings decline versus last year's gain-driven quarter, but FFO per share of $0.74 beat the prior year's $0.60. The quarter was active: the company closed the $230 million Park Avenue Plaza acquisition, repurchased $53 million of stock, and the board authorized an additional $300 million buyback. Same-store NOI rose 9.8%, signaling improving property fundamentals. The balance sheet saw significant refinancing activity, including a new $500 million note issuance and upsized credit facilities. The 888 Seventh Avenue mortgage remains in forbearance, a lingering credit concern. Overall, the quarter reflects a REIT navigating office headwinds with opportunistic capital allocation.
