Research Alert: Alexandria Real Estate Equities Q1: Dispositions Accelerate, Renewal Rates Down

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

ARE reported Q1 revenue of $671M (-11.5% Y/Y and $25M below consensus) vs. $754M a year ago. Rental income declined 12.1% to $653M, reflecting lower occupancy and significant pricing pressure on lease renewals across the portfolio. Rental rate changes on renewals and re-leasing showed a steep 15.0% decline (-15.8% cash basis), a dramatic reversal from the -5.5% cash renewal rate in Q4 2025. Management updated cash rental rate guidance to -14% to -7%, declining a further 300 bps since February as market conditions deteriorated. We expect continued pressure on re-leasing growth in full-year 2026 as ARE continues to optimize its portfolio of properties amid challenging life science market dynamics. The significant deterioration in renewal spreads from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026 highlights the difficult operating environment facing life science real estate, with both occupancy headwinds and rental rate pressures creating a challenging backdrop for near-term financial performance and cash flow generation.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We update our 12-month target to CAD272 from CAD293, valuing shares with a multiple that is more in line with peers: 14.2x our estimated 2027 EBITDA outlook. We have maintained our 2026 and 2027 EPS forecasts at USD5.72 and USD6.49, respectively. WCN delivered strong Q1 results that exceeded expectations and aligned with our Buy thesis on shares. WCN's secondary market positioning, exposure to specialized waste streams, and focus on quality contracts is enabling solid waste pricing that is supporting both top- and bottom-line expansion. Solid waste core pricing of 6% supported growth, while the company strategically shed lower-margin volumes (down 1.5%), prioritizing profitability over volume - a trend we view favorably across the waste industry. Coupled with a more attractive valuation following a 17% one-year decline, we see upside in shares amid potential commodity price improvements, accretive M&A, and AI investments for operational benefits.
