STAG Industrial Raises Full-Year Guidance Amid Data Center Demand and Rent Growth
STAG Industrial (STAG) raised its full-year guidance following a strong third-quarter 2026 earnings report, driven by improving industrial leasing demand. A significant driver of recent activity is the expansion into specialized infrastructure, with data center tenants accounting for 26% of all new operating portfolio leases during the period. The company anticipates an acceleration in market rent growth, forecasting a range of 2% to 4% for 2027 compared to the expected 1.6% in 2026. This trend is supported by declining vacancy rates across regional distribution corridors. Additionally, STAG's new BBB investment-grade rating from S&P Global Ratings is expected to lower borrowing costs and provide better access to unsecured debt markets.
