Total revenues were $211,004 versus $179,260, led by option fee revenues of $209,480 versus $170,326. Income from operations was $180,451 versus $152,836. The release characterizes the business as producing recurring cash flow through contractual monthly cash option payments and continuous redeployment of homesite sale proceeds.
AFFO attributable to common stockholders was $133,519, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared with $122,498, or $0.74 per diluted share. The quarter's AFFO reconciliation included $2,781 of amortization of deferred financing and issuance costs, $289 of stock-based compensation expense, and $447 of rating agency expenses. Interest expense was $(47,093 ), compared with $(43,748 ), while income from preferred instruments was $996 following the preferred-equity investment associated with Dream Finders Homes' acquisition of Beazer Homes.
Portfolio activity shows continuing deployment and diversification. Total Invested Capital was $9,245,400 as of September 30, 2026, compared with $8,798,999 as of June 30, 2026, and carried a total weighted average yield of 9.3%. The Lennar Master Program Agreement represented $5,874,229 of Invested Capital at an 8.5% weighted average yield, while Other Agreements represented $3,371,171 at a 10.8% weighted average yield. The Company received $596 million in net cash proceeds from homesite sales to Lennar and redeployed $546 million into new land acquisitions and development funding.
Capital allocation expanded beyond Lennar through approximately $1.1 billion of capital support for Dream Finders Homes' acquisition of Beazer Homes. The arrangement includes approximately $580 million in land banking capital and approximately $488 million in preferred equity carrying a 12% dividend. The Company also acquired 1,233 completed single-family homes for an aggregate cost basis of approximately $333 million and funded the investment with approximately $120 million of balance sheet capital, net of $213 million of limited-recourse secured financing. Pro forma for the Dream Finders transaction, approximately 42% of the asset base is outside the Lennar Master Program Agreement.
The Company raised its year-end 2026 AFFO quarterly run-rate outlook to $0.82 to $0.84 per share. Millrose also declared a $131.2 million quarterly dividend, or $0.79 per share, and authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program. Balance-sheet resources included total liquidity of $0.8 billion, while total corporate debt was $3.1 billion and the debt-to-capitalization ratio was 36%. Investors should focus on delivery against the increased AFFO run-rate outlook, deployment returns outside Lennar, the Dream Finders financing, and the impact of higher debt and financing costs.

Background
The filing is a standard SEC Form 8‑K reporting quarterly results and forward guidance for Millrose Properties, a NYSE‑listed homesite financing platform.
Ticker impact
Millrose Properties disclosed Q3 2026 results with $130M net income, raised Q4 AFFO guidance to $0.82-$0.84 and announced a $250M share repurchase program.
upward pressure as investors price in higher AFFO outlook and potential share buybacks
The company issued guidance that raised expectations and added a sizable repurchase program, both typical catalysts for short‑term buying.
Market effects
Positive for the residential homebuilder financing sector as Millrose's stronger AFFO and buyback signal demand for homesite financing.
U.S. housing finance market may see modest uplift.
Limited to U.S. real estate finance niche.
Counterpoint
If the housing market softens further, the raised guidance could be overly optimistic, and the buyback may not offset broader sector weakness.
