Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results slightly missed consensus on the top line ($785.0M vs. $787.7M expected) and significantly missed on Diluted EPS ($0.30 vs. $0.35 expected). The bottom-line miss was primarily driven by a $16.7M net loss on property sales compared to a $58.3M gain in the prior year, alongside $56M in litigation settlement costs. Despite the GAAP miss, same-store NOI grew 1.4% YoY, and the gross margin of 66.24% beat the 65.05% consensus, reflecting resilient operational efficiency amidst the pending AvalonBay merger.
