📊 MIXED MAA Q1 2026 core FFO $2.13 beats guidance; blended lease growth improves 140 bps sequentially.
Revenue & Profitability
Core FFO for Q1 2026 was $2.13 per diluted share, $0.02 ahead of guidance. Same-store expenses were $0.015 favorable, non-same-store NOI was $0.01 favorable, and interest expense was $0.005 unfavorable. Full-year core FFO guidance midpoint was reaffirmed, with Q2 2026 guidance of $2.02-$2.12 per share. The company repurchased 558,000 shares for $73 million at an average price of $130.46.
Outlook
Management is optimistic, citing resilient demand from job growth, migration, and strong wage growth in their footprint. They expect gradual seasonal improvement in new lease rates through the second and third quarters, with a stronger 2027 as supply pressure moderates. Absorption exceeded new deliveries in Q1 2026, and market-level occupancies are firming up. Renewal growth is expected to remain consistent in the 5%+ range.
Growth Drivers
Key growth levers include new development (four projects starting in 2026, $350 million spend), redevelopment (1,386 unit upgrades with 17% returns), and the lease-up portfolio (five properties at 68.3% occupancy). The Wi-Fi initiative is expected to generate about $3 million in revenue in 2026. High-growth markets like Atlanta, Dallas, and Orlando outperformed the portfolio in blended lease pricing.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Development spend for 2026 is expected to be $350 million, down from the original $400 million due to timing of starts. Interior unit upgrades averaged $7,349 per unit with a 17% cash-on-cash return. The Wi-Fi Retrofit Initiative is expanding to over 35 additional properties. Redevelopment and repositioning projects have achieved NOI yields above 10%. No AI or infrastructure investments were mentioned.
Margins
Margin trajectory was not explicitly guided, but same-store expenses were favorable due to lower repair & maintenance, personnel, and marketing costs. The company is pursuing operating efficiency initiatives, including centralization and specialization. Redevelopment projects deliver strong returns, supporting margin improvement. No specific margin guidance or operating leverage targets were provided.
Key Risks
Risks flagged include elevated supply in certain markets (Austin, Charlotte, Savannah) and broader macro-economic uncertainty. Concessions remain high on lease-up properties (up to eight weeks on some floor plans). Interest expense increased due to incremental borrowings from share repurchases and a litigation settlement. Renewal rate dependency and potential seasonal softening of new lease pricing were also noted.

Q2 2026 Q2 2026 2026-07-30
Core FFO exceeded guidance due to strong expense control and resilient demand, with lease rates and NOI outperforming expectations.

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
