STAG Industrial reports Q3 2026 earnings and authorizes up to $250 million in share repurchases

STAG Industrial posted third‑quarter 2026 net income of $70.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, up 42.3% year‑over‑year. Core FFO rose 1.5% to $0.66 per diluted share and same‑store cash NOI increased 3.5% to $159.9 million. The REIT acquired two buildings for $107.9 million, sold four for $67.9 million, and maintained a 95.9% occupancy rate. The board also authorized a $250 million share‑buyback program.

The earnings beat and higher occupancy support the company’s dividend and the newly authorized buyback, which could boost earnings per share for shareholders (the company announced the program in its release). The results also underpin the company’s raised 2026 guidance, indicating stronger cash flow expectations (as noted by Seeking Alpha).
