Easterly Government Properties stock holds near its yearly high
Published on 09/22/2026 at 06:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSEasterly Government Properties, Inc. (US27616P1030) closed at USD 23.89 on the NYSE on September 11, 2026, down USD 0.02, or 0.08 percent, from the prior close of USD 23.91. The price stood USD 2.07 below the 52-week high of USD 25.96 and USD 3.33 above the 52-week low of USD 20.56.
Price remains above the yearly low
The September 11 close puts DEA 7.2 percent below its 52-week high and 16.2 percent above its 52-week low. Trading volume was 282,221 shares, compared with a three-month average of 382,584 shares, while the implied market capitalization was USD 1.25 billion.
The valuation data show a mixed picture. The stock traded at 0.86 times trailing book value and 13.52 times enterprise value to EBITDA, while the trailing GAAP price-to-earnings ratio was 119.31. These figures describe a real estate security whose market value is being assessed through both asset value and recurring cash flow.
Q2 2026 results set the backdrop
Easterly Government Properties reported its latest quarterly results for Q2 2026, according to Ad-hoc-news.de on September 21, 2026. The report included revenue, funds from operations and net income, although the published account did not provide the individual amounts.
The available operating indicators provide dated comparison points from the stock profile. Revenue growth was 12.60 percent year over year, while diluted earnings per share declined 48.31 percent year over year and levered free cash flow increased 30.00 percent. The contrast matters because REIT investors typically weigh recurring operating cash flow more heavily than a single GAAP earnings movement.
Government leases shape the profile
Easterly owns and manages Class A commercial properties leased to US government agencies, including properties leased directly or through the General Services Administration, according to Seeking Alpha on September 11, 2026. The company profile lists 55 employees and identifies Real Estate as the sector and Office REITs as the industry.
For the market, the key comparison is between the current share price and the broader operating record: DEA was up 8.49 percent over six months and 9.04 percent over nine months, but only 2.01 percent over one year. The one-year result lagged the S&P 500 gain of 16.23 percent over the same period.
DEA closes at USD 23.89
DEA closed at USD 23.89 on the NYSE on September 11, 2026. The stock was above its 200-day simple moving average of USD 23.38 but below its 50-day average of USD 24.78, leaving the latest quote between those two dated technical reference points.
