REITs crashed nearly 40% in 2022 and, despite a strong rebound, still trade well below prior highs. Higher rates, oversupply in some sectors, and massive AI-driven flows into tech delayed the recovery. Now, those headwinds may be turning into tailwinds, setting up a potential breakout.
CPT tops Q4 FFO estimates as same-property revenues rise, but softer lease rates, lower occupancy and cautious 2026 guidance temper results.
The headline numbers for Camden (CPT) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended December 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
Camden (CPT) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.76 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.73 per share. This compares to FFO of $1.73 per share a year ago.
Camden Property heads into Q4 earnings with revenue growth expected. However, FFO per share may have remained flat, as supply pressures weigh on apartment rents.
Global capital is quietly rotating away from paper assets. Two overlooked real asset businesses with attractive yields are trading at massive discounts. Powerful catalysts could unlock value faster than expected.
CPT shares rise 7.3% in three months as strong renter demand, tech-driven margins and a solid pipeline support growth in high-growth U.S. markets.
U.S. rents and occupancy slip in November 2025. However, easing supply and solid demand could support residential REITs like ESS, UDR & CPT by 2026.
Camden Property Trust faces headwinds from falling rents and weak Sun Belt demand, but maintains resilient performance and disciplined expense management. CPT delivered solid Q3 results, with FFO in line, modest revenue growth, and a strong balance sheet supporting buybacks and a 4% dividend yield. While near-term rental growth remains sluggish, CPT's focus on renewals, low turnover, and declining supply position it for eventual rent recovery.
REITs are poised for a strong comeback. Recent headwinds are now turning into tailwinds. Even then, high-quality REITs remain heavily discounted.
