Earnings call transcript: Safehold Q1 2026 beats revenue, stock rises

Safehold Inc. reported mixed Q1 2026 results, beating revenue expectations significantly with $110.9 million, but missing EPS forecasts at $0.40. Despite the EPS miss and ongoing litigation with Park Hotels, the stock rose 1.39% due to strong revenue growth and a robust liquidity position of $1.1 billion. The company is focusing on expanding multifamily ground leases and affordable housing transactions, with a continued stock buyback program reflecting confidence in its undervalued shares.
