Alexandria Real Estate Faces Critical Test Amid Legal and Financial Turmoil

Alexandria Real Estate Equities US0152711091

Alexandria Real Estate Equities finds itself at a pivotal juncture. As the company hosts its Investor Day, its shares, trading near $53.80, are contending with a confluence of severe challenges. These include a disappointing earnings warning, securities fraud allegations, and a share price decline of 19% since late October.

The primary catalyst for the recent sell-off was a dramatically reduced outlook. Alexandria slashed its 2025 Funds From Operations (FFO) projection to a midpoint of $9.01 per share. However, the greater shock to investors was the company’s inaugural guidance for 2026, forecasting an FFO range of only $6.25 to $6.85 per share. This projection falls substantially below previous consensus expectations and signals a persistent earnings downturn.
