Brixmor reports Q3 growth, raises dividend and 2026 outlook

On October 26, Brixmor reported third-quarter 2026 results with leased occupancy at 95.6%, same-property NOI growth of 6.6%, and Nareit FFO of $0.60 per diluted share. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 7.3% to $0.3300 per common share and updated 2026 guidance to Nareit FFO of $2.36 - $2.38 per diluted share and same-property NOI growth of 5.50% - 5.75%. Brixmor also announced a planned $2.34 billion purchase of Slate Grocery REIT, including a 23-property portfolio for approximately $636 million and a joint venture investment tied to 92 additional properties for approximately $1.71 billion, with closing expected in the first quarter of 2027.

The dividend increase raises Brixmor's cash distribution, while the higher outlook changes the company's stated 2026 earnings and NOI expectations. The Slate transaction would expand Brixmor's grocery-anchored portfolio if it receives unitholder approval and other customary clearances.
