    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown! Today we're digging into Prologis — ticker PLD — the industrial real estate giant that basically owns the warehouses behind your Amazon packages. Q3 2026 results dropped, and there's a lot to unpack, including a massive European merger clearing a huge hurdle.

    **JORDAN:** Big one. But before we get into it...

    **ALEX:** Right, gotta say it. This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Perfect. Now let's talk warehouses.

    **ALEX:** So, headline numbers first. Prologis posted core FFO — that's funds from operations, basically the REIT version of earnings — of $1.60 per share, or $1.61 excluding some promote expenses. Occupancy ticked up to 95.6%, same-store NOI growth came in at 5.7% on a net effective basis, 5.9% on cash. And get this — rent change on rollover, meaning when an old lease expires and they sign a new one, was 38% net effective.

    **JORDAN:** That 38% number is the one that jumps out at me. That's the "mark-to-market" story playing out in real time — Prologis signed a ton of leases years ago at much lower rents, and now as those roll over, they're repricing at a huge premium. They said their portfolio-wide lease mark-to-market sits at 16%, representing about $780 million of embedded NOI just waiting to flow through in future years. That's a built-in growth engine regardless of what the broader market does next.

    **ALEX:** And they raised guidance because of it. Same-store NOI growth guidance moved up to 5.5%–6% net effective, 7%–7.5% on cash. They also bumped development starts guidance to $6 billion–$6.75 billion for the year, which actually surprised some analysts on the call given everything they said about rising construction costs.

    **JORDAN:** Yeah, that was a good tension point in the Q&A. Dan Letter, the CEO, basically explained it: a lot of that increase is build-to-suit projects — meaning a specific customer has already committed to a building before it's even built. He said build-to-suits could be 55% to 65% of total starts this year, and the build-to-suit pipeline is 20-25% bigger than it was a year ago. So it's not that Prologis is getting more aggressive speculatively — it's that demand, particularly from data center supply chain customers, is pulling specific projects forward.

    **ALEX:** Which brings us to the two biggest strategic stories of the quarter. First — SEGRO. Can you break that down?

    **JORDAN:** So SEGRO is a major European logistics REIT, and Prologis has been working on combining with them. The huge update this quarter: SEGRO shareholders overwhelmingly approved the deal on September 28th. It's now moving through regulatory clearance, with an expected close in the first half of 2027. Once it closes, combined, they'll have a 368-million-square-foot European portfolio — massive scale advantage for serving customers and building out both logistics and data centers across Europe.

    **ALEX:** And they already raised $2.4 billion in common equity to help fund part of that consideration, so a chunk of the capital stack is locked in. CFO Tim Arndt made a point of saying 2027 guidance — which comes out in January — probably won't even include SEGRO specifics yet since the deal likely won't have closed by then.

    **JORDAN:** Smart to manage expectations there. The second big story, and honestly the one I think long-term investors should watch closest, is data centers. Prologis's pipeline is now 5.8 gigawatts — 1.7 gigawatts of secured power and 4.1 in advanced stages. They've got letters of intent covering about 1 gigawatt, with much of that expected to start in 2027.

    **ALEX:** And it's not just the direct data center business — they flagged that customers

    ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown, where we take the calls that move markets and make sense of the numbers behind them. I'm Alex.

    JORDAN: And I'm Jordan. Today we're digging into Prologis — ticker PLD — the industrial and logistics real estate giant, reporting their second quarter of 2026.

    ALEX: Before we jump in, quick disclaimer: this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    JORDAN: Okay, with that out of the way, Alex, this was a strong quarter for Prologis. Where do we start?

    ALEX: Let's start with the headline numbers. Core FFO came in at $1.63 per share including promote income, $1.60 without — both ahead of expectations. And because of that strength, they raised full-year guidance: Core FFO now expected between $6.22 and $6.30 per share, and net earnings guidance up to $4.40 to $4.55 per share.

    JORDAN: And it's not just a beat-and-raise on the bottom line — the operational metrics back it up. Occupancy hit 95.5%, up 20 basis points from Q1. Same-store NOI growth was 6.4% net effective and 8.5% on a cash basis. Those are really healthy numbers for a REIT this size.

    ALEX: The leasing volume stood out to me the most — 67 million square feet signed in the quarter. CEO Dan Letter called it their fourth record in seven quarters.

    JORDAN: Right, and it's paired with 66 million square feet of net absorption in the US, the highest since 2022. Vacancy dropped to 7.2%, market rents ticked up about 70 basis points. Management's whole thesis this call was that the industrial market has moved past its "inflection phase" and into what they're calling the next phase of growth.

    ALEX: There's also a really interesting structural story here beyond just warehouses. Prologis has been building out data centers and energy as parallel growth engines using the same land and customer relationships.

    JORDAN: Yeah, the numbers there are eye-popping. Their power pipeline is now 5.8 gigawatts — that's more than doubled in two years. Depending on how much of that gets built as basic "powered shell" versus fully finished "turnkey" data centers, that represents somewhere between $17 billion and $87 billion of potential investment.

    ALEX: Huge range.

    JORDAN: Huge range, and CEO Dan Letter was upfront on the call that it's genuinely hard to predict where in that range they'll land — it depends on customer preference. But they did share they've now started nearly $4 billion of data center development, all build-to-suit for hyperscale customers, and they sold a 100-megawatt power land parcel this quarter at an 82% margin.

    ALEX: Which tells you how profitable just the land and power entitlement piece of this business can be, even before construction.

    JORDAN: Exactly — and CFO Tim Arndt mentioned they see over 10 gigawatts of opportunity over the next decade. It's basically a second growth business layered on top of the core logistics platform.

    ALEX: On the guidance side, they raised development starts to a range of $5.5 to $6.5 billion, and increased acquisitions guidance too — they bought $1.8 billion of real estate this quarter at roughly a 20% discount to replacement cost.

    JORDAN: That IRR discipline came up a few times. Management noted underwritten IRRs on acquisitions have beaten IRRs on dispositions by 140 basis points year to date — so they're actively upgrading the portfolio, not just growing for growth's sake.

    ALEX: Now, one thing listeners should know — there's a corporate development angle hovering over this whole call that management wouldn't discuss.

    JORDAN: Right, Prologis has made a possible offer for Segro, a UK logistics REIT, under UK takeover rules. Because of regulatory restrictions, they explicitly said they couldn't answer any que

    Prologis Q1 2026 Earnings Analysis
    2026/04/16
    **BETA FINCH PODCAST SCRIPT**

    ---

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we dive deep into quarterly results and what they mean for your portfolio. I'm Alex.

    **JORDAN:** And I'm Jordan. Today we're breaking down Prologis' Q1 2026 earnings - and wow, what a quarter for the industrial real estate giant.

    **ALEX:** Before we jump in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Absolutely. Now Alex, let's talk about these numbers because Prologis just delivered some seriously impressive results.

    **ALEX:** They really did, Jordan. Let me start with the headline numbers. Core FFO came in at $1.50 per share including net promote expense, and $1.52 excluding it - both beating expectations. But what really caught my eye was that record leasing number: 64 million square feet of signings in just one quarter.

    **JORDAN:** That's massive. And here's what I find fascinating - their leasing pipeline didn't just maintain after this record quarter, it actually reached new highs. That tells me the underlying demand is incredibly robust. Plus, occupancy hit 95.3%, which exceeded their own expectations.

    **ALEX:** The retention rate was impressive too - nearly 76%. But Jordan, let's talk about what's really driving this story: their expansion beyond traditional logistics into data centers. They started $2.1 billion of new development this quarter, with $1.3 billion of that going to data center projects.

    **JORDAN:** This is where it gets really interesting from an investment perspective. CEO Dan Letter mentioned they have 1.3 gigawatts under letter of intent and all of their power pipeline sites are in active discussions. Tim Arndt, their CFO, said they ended the quarter with 5.6 gigawatts of energy either secured or in advanced stages.

    **ALEX:** And here's the kicker - Arndt said that just assuming a basic power shell format at $3 million per megawatt, their current pipeline could provide well over $15 billion of investment opportunity. That's not even counting the turnkey format which would be multiples of that.

    **JORDAN:** The data center story is compelling, but let's not forget their bread and butter logistics business is still performing. U.S. logistics markets absorbed 45 million square feet on a seasonally adjusted basis - that was actually ahead of their forecast. And vacancy rates stayed stable at 7.5%.

    **ALEX:** What I found encouraging was the rent growth story. Market rents grew 30 basis points globally - and this was the first increase in 2.5 years. That suggests we might be at an inflection point where the supply-demand dynamics are finally shifting in landlords' favor.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly. And their lease mark-to-market of 17% on a net effective basis represents about $750 million of embedded NOI at current spot rents. That's a lot of upside still to capture as occupancies improve.

    **ALEX:** Now, let's address the elephant in the room - the geopolitical backdrop. Letter specifically mentioned the Middle East conflict and its potential impact on their business. How did management handle this?

    **JORDAN:** I thought Letter was refreshingly direct about it. He acknowledged the uncertainty, especially around energy prices and inflation pressures, but he focused on what they're actually seeing in their data. He said seven weeks into the conflict, most customers are telling them their 2026 business plans remain unchanged.

    **ALEX:** That's a key point. He contrasted this with April 2025 when tariff-related uncertainty caused an immediate pause in leasing activity. This time, he's not seeing that same pattern - March was actually a very active month for new leasing.

    **JORDAN:** Speaking of capital, let's talk about their strategic capital platform exp
