Prologis Expects More Development, Acquisitions as Industrial Recovery Grows
Prologis reported Q3 revenue of $2.39B, up from $2.21B a year ago. The company signed 60M sq ft of leases, with occupancy at 95.1%. Prologis increased its 2026 acquisition guidance to $2.1B-$2.3B and expects $5B-$5.75B in new development. Higher interest rates may slow transaction activity, according to executives. The company's merger with Sergo, valued at $18.8B, is expected to close in early 2027.
