The company is experiencing above-trend revenue growth in key markets like New York City and San Francisco, driven by declining apartment supply and societal trends favoring rentership. EQR's portfolio benefits from a diversified exposure across urban centers in coastal markets, providing a distinct opportunity to outperform competitors. The company is leveraging artificial intelligence to improve operational efficiency and customer experience, with successful pilots in leasing applications and delinquency management. EQR's financial health is strong, with a low rent-to-income ratio of 20% and an increase in average household income of residents by 8.5% year-over-year. Negative Points The transaction market is less active than anticipated, leading EQR to lower its acquisition expectations for the year from $1.5 billion to $1 billion. Certain markets, such as Los Angeles, are underperforming due to weak job growth and quality of life issues, impacting overall demand. EQR is facing challenges in expansion markets like Denver and Atlanta, where high levels of new supply and modest job growth are putting pressure on rents.

EQR's guidance indicates a potential deceleration in blended rate growth in the third quarter, reflecting a more cautious outlook for the remainder of the year. Q & A Highlights Q: As you look out over the next 12 to 18 months, is the supply picture able to offset a potentially slowing job market? A: Michael Manelis, COO, explained that the company is well-positioned due to a significant reduction in new supply, particularly within a 1 to 3-mile radius of their assets. Any level of job growth next year is expected to add pricing power, given the solid setup for 2026. Q: How do you view the mix of your portfolio between expansion and established markets? A: Mark Parrell, CEO, emphasized the goal of building an all-weather portfolio focused on higher-earning customers. While expansion markets like Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, and Austin are currently facing supply challenges, they are expected to recover over time. The company remains committed to a balanced portfolio approach. Q: Can you discuss EQR's use of concessions during the spring and summer leasing season? A: Michael Manelis noted that concession use was higher than expected, averaging about 7 days per move-in. This was driven by a focus on occupancy and supply-impacted submarkets. Elevated concession use is expected to continue in expansion markets and certain LA submarkets. Q: What are your near-term expectations and strategy for the DC and LA markets? A: Michael Manelis stated that in DC, the focus will be on maintaining occupancy, with some concession use expected. In LA, the strategy varies by submarket, with West LA showing momentum and less need for concessions, while downtown and Mid-Wilshire areas will likely continue using concessions. Q: How do you view the impact of AI on entry-level jobs and the rental market? A: Mark Parrell mentioned that it's early to determine AI's full impact, but there are benefits in tech hubs like San Francisco. The company is leveraging technology to improve decision-making and operational efficiency, which may slow the growth of overhead costs over time. Q: What are your thoughts on the transaction market and potential acquisition opportunities? A: Alexander Brackenridge, CIO, noted that lenders are more willing to extend loans, reducing pressure for sales. The company is poised to take advantage of opportunities, particularly in markets with less supply pressure, but remains disciplined in its approach. Q: How do you view the potential impact of political changes in New York on your portfolio? A: Mark Parrell expressed confidence in the resilience of their New York portfolio, noting that public-private partnerships are crucial for housing supply. The company is engaging with policymakers to emphasize the importance of private sector involvement in housing. Q: Can you provide an update on your development strategy and potential new projects? A: Alexander Brackenridge highlighted a focus on balancing development in both legacy and expansion markets. The company targets a 6% yield on new developments and prefers joint ventures to leverage partner expertise and maintain flexibility.

Medical Properties Q2 NFFO Misses Estimates, Revenues Fall Y/Y
Medical Properties Trust, Inc. MPW — also known as MPT — reported second-quarter 2025 normalized funds from operations (NFFO) per share of 14 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 15 cents. This compared unfavorably with 23 cents per share recorded in the prior-year quarter. Results reflect a decrease in rent billed, income from financing leases and interest and other income revenues. Also, an increase in interest expenses in the quarter remains a concern. However, a rise in straight-line rent revenues supported the results to some extent. MPT clocked in revenues of $240.4 million in the second quarter, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $228.6 million. However, the figure declined 9.8% from the year-ago quarter. Per Edward K. Aldag, Jr., chairman, president and CEO, 'During the quarter, our portfolio of new operators continued to successfully ramp operations around the country. As expected, rental income from these operators increased significantly quarter-over-quarter and, in turn, we remain confident in our visibility to annualized pro rata cash rent of more than $1 billion by the fourth quarter of 2026.' Behind the Headlines In the reported quarter, Medical Properties' rent billed totaled $177.9 million, decreasing 3.2% from the prior-year quarter. Its straight-line rent revenues were $39.7 million, up 3.3% from the year-ago quarter. Income from financing leases of $9.9 million in the second quarter decreased 64.1% from the year-ago quarter. Interest and other income were $12.9 million, down 23% from the year-ago period. Medical Properties' interest expenses were up 27.9% year over year to $129.7 million. In the second quarter, MPW sold a post-acute facility with the most recent annualized cash rents of nearly $4 million for aggregate proceeds of around $28 million and an approximate $5 million real estate gain. MPW's Balance Sheet Position Medical Properties exited the second quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $509.8 million, down from $673.5 million as of March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, it had an adjusted net debt to adjusted annualized EBITDA ratio of 9.6. MPW's Zacks Rank Medical Properties currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

First minister accused of not having voice on EU deal
Wales' first minister Eluned Morgan has been accused by her political rivals of lacking a voice in the UK government's negotiations with the European Monday the former MEP welcomed a new deal struck between the UK and the EU, but said she would have liked "more discussion" with the UK government over the Welsh Parliament, the Welsh Conservative's Darren Millar said Morgan did not "have a voice", while Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth said Sir Keir Starmer was treating Wales with "contempt".Morgan said the agreement was a "good deal for Wales" and that many issues raised by the Welsh government had been addressed in it. The agreement struck with the EU covers fishing, the ability of young people to move freely and defence, among other will see the two sides work on a joint food safety agreement which, if implemented, would reduce paperwork and ease fishing vessels will also get 12 more years of access to UK waters. The National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO) said it was "very disappointed" with the Monday Morgan, asked if the Welsh government had been consulted over the effect on fishing, said there had been talks but that she "would have liked more discussion"."We've had an idea of what's been going on the whole time but the detail wasn't finalised until the past few days," she of fishing is devolved to the Welsh government. 'Betrayed' In first minister's question time in the Senedd, Welsh Tory Senedd leader Millar said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had "reopened the old Brexit battles that we have already fought and won and made some appalling announcements"."Let's be clear about what this deal means: free movement back, payments to the EU back, EU rules back, our fishing industry here in Wales betrayed, an unacceptable mobility scheme."He said the deal "will decimate our Welsh fishing industry" and accused Morgan of selling "our fishing industry down the river".In response to Millar, Morgan said: "I'll tell you what I do know is the Tories botched Brexit."What we will see now is much better opportunities for jobs in this country because people will be able to export to the EU for the first time without that red tape that occurred before."Millar later added that the UK government "did not consult with this Welsh Labour government in spite of the fact that many parts of this deal are going to have an impact here in Wales."Morgan argued that the Welsh shellfish industry, "which is actually much greater than our fisheries industry sector, are very happy that, from now on, they will be able to export their goods to the continent without them sitting and waiting and having to fill in forms at the borders". 'Not bold enough' In his series of questions, Rhun ap Iorwerth said he was "pleased that there is some acceptance now of the harm of Brexit".But he said the deal was "not bold enough in its response"."Yes, the Tories did botch Brexit," he said, "but Labour also is botching its response to the Brexit damage."He said: "In yet another signal that Wales' voice matters little to UK Labour, the first minister has admitted... she was again side-lined."Morgan said: "It's really important for us to recognise that this is a good deal for Wales."She listed a number of issues, such as "bringing down export barriers", defence and issues around steel and youth movement that were "all on our list of things that we wanted to see" which she said had been "worked through with relevant" UK government herself as a "euro-enthusiast," Morgan said she was "gutted" that the UK left the EU, but wanted "as close as possible a deal with the European Union in order for our country and our nation to thrive".Ap Iorwerth accused Morgan of wavering from her belief the Welsh government would benefit from membership of the single market and the custom union."We have a First Minister who says she's a euro-enthusiast, but that's in words only," he said.
