NexPoint Residential Reports Improved Occupancy Amid Declining Profits
On August 4, NexPoint Residential Trust Inc. (NYSE:NXRT) released its second-quarter results for 2026 showing mixed performance. While occupancy rates increased and the company's renovation program delivered strong returns on investment, net losses widened due to rising operating expenses and interest costs that outpaced revenue growth. The firm completed over 459 unit upgrades in Q2 alone, achieving a rent premium of $90.60 per month with an impressive return rate of 23%. Additionally, occupancy across its properties reached 93.5% as of June 30. NexPoint also launched a new DST bridge-lending program by investing $22.1 million in a North Carolina apartment community loan at a fixed interest rate. Despite these operational gains, financial metrics such as FFO and AFFO declined year-over-year. Net loss attributable to common stockholders increased from $7.0 million to $8.6 million during the quarter. The company's profitability measures all showed declines, with Same Store NOI dropping by 2.9% in Q2.
