EastGroup raises FFO, occupancy, and development-starts guidance across the board after a record-setting Q3 2026 leasing quarter.

EastGroup delivered a company-record 2.9 million square feet of second-generation leasing in Q3 2026, driving FFO of $2.45 per share — $0.04 above guidance midpoint and up 7.9% year-over-year — and pushing cash same-store NOI to 7.1% for the quarter and 8.2% year-to-date. Management raised full-year FFO guidance midpoint by $0.06 to $9.65 per share, lifted same-store NOI guidance by 70 basis points to 7.5%, and increased development starts target by $65 million to a projected record $390 million, funded by $695 million in outstanding forward equity share agreements. The acquisition window opened materially in Q3, with cap rates moving 20-30 basis points higher in most markets, enabling EastGroup to acquire five projects for $320 million at stabilized straight-line yields around 6.5% while maintaining a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.2x.
