PLD - Prologis, Inc.

Prologis owns and operates industrial logistics real estate — specifically bulk distribution warehouses, last-mile fulfillment centers, and multi-market logistics parks — leased to e-commerce companies, third-party logistics providers, and large retailers under long-term triple-net leases. The business model is REIT-structured commercial real estate with recurring rental income, development/stabilization cycles, and fee-based third-party capital management across co-investment ventures. Revenue runs approximately $8B annually with assets concentrated in high-barrier coastal U.S. markets, complemented by significant presence in Europe, Japan, and Latin America. Prologis holds roughly 1.2 billion square feet of logistics real estate under ownership or management, making it the largest industrial REIT globally by gross leasable area.

Past Year Trends

• Prologis reported Core FFO per share of approximately $5.46 for FY2024, down from $5.59 in FY2023, and cut its full-year guidance twice during 2024 as the industrial leasing market cooled from post-pandemic highs. (Bearish)
• Portfolio occupancy fell to 95.8% at year-end 2024 from a peak of 97.7% in mid-2022, driven by tenant space consolidations and elevated new supply deliveries in Inland Empire, Dallas, and Chicago logistics corridors. (Bearish)
• Net effective rent change on new and renewal leases moderated to approximately 36% in FY2024, down sharply from over 70% in FY2022, as market rents in the top US logistics markets plateaued and softened in select submarkets. (Neutral)

Next Year Trends

• Prologis announced a multi-gigawatt data center conversion initiative in 2024, targeting land-and-power assets adjacent to its logistics portfolio to serve hyperscaler demand, with initial site selection underway across Northern Virginia, Dallas, and Phoenix — lease signings would represent a step-change in per-square-foot NOI for converted assets. (Bullish)
• An estimated $8–10 billion in leases signed at below-market rents in 2019–2021 are scheduled to roll in 2025–2026, giving Prologis a structural mark-to-market tailwind of roughly 25–35% on re-leased space even if market rents stay flat. (Bullish)
• New industrial supply completions are expected to remain elevated through mid-2025, with approximately 400–450 million square feet still under construction nationally as of early 2025, sustaining occupancy pressure and limiting Prologis's ability to push rents on speculative re-leasing until supply digestion accelerates in late 2025.
