Phillips Edison & Company Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results with Record Rent Spreads
Phillips Edison & Company (PECO) delivered robust third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by a 9.2% growth in core Funds From Operations (FFO) per diluted share to $0.71. The company's performance was driven by strong rental income and high economic occupancy, with same-center Net Operating Income (NOI) growing 5.3% year-over-year. A standout metric was the record comparable renewal rent spreads of 25.2%, fueled by intense demand for grocery-anchored retail spaces. Management raised its full-year guidance for both core FFO and same-center NOI, reflecting confidence in their leasing momentum. The company is actively expanding its footprint, having acquired $519.1 million in assets year-to-date, with a strategic goal to grow its everyday retail portfolio to $1 billion within two years. Despite broader economic uncertainty, PECO maintains a strong liquidity position of $950 million pro forma.
