Earnings and analyst expectations

Rexford last reported on October 22, 2026, when it posted earnings per share of $0.07 against $0.28 expected, 74.8% below estimates. The firm reported FFO of $0.6 per share for the third quarter, matching the prior year and in line with consensus, and said leasing activity increased and occupancy improved during the quarter, according to Seeking Alpha and Zacks Investment Research. The company raised its full-year 2026 Core FFO per share guidance after the quarter, according to MarketBeat and PRNewsWire.

Diluted earnings per share by quarter. The latest quarter shows $0.07, against $0.35 in the same quarter a year earlier.

The stock has recorded zero consecutive quarters beating estimates, and its average surprise over the last four reports is 100.0% below estimates. Typical two-day reactions after recent reports have been modest, with the stock having risen 0.3% following recent releases. Analysts assign a consensus price target of $39.33, 1.6% above the closing price, based on 22 analysts and a consensus rating of Buy. Fifty-five percent of those analysts rate the stock Buy or Strong Buy.

Operationally, management highlighted ongoing portfolio adjustments. Through the third quarter the company reported $1.5 billion of dispositions year to date as part of a portfolio realignment. It completed 3.7 million square feet of leasing activity, including 600,000 square feet tied to repositioning and development, according to MarketBeat and PRNewsWire. Those moves help explain the outlook improvement in Core FFO even as top-line revenue and margins showed year-on-year declines.

Rexford’s market value stood at $8.42 billion. Investors must weigh operational momentum and exceptional quality metrics against weak valuation and downward earnings trends. The stock’s modest sensitivity to the market and recent guidance lift may limit downside if leasing and disposition trends continue to support Core FFO.
