Company Report

Boston Properties Earnings: CBD Portfolio Holding Up Well, While Suburban Portfolio Remains Stressed

No-moat-rated Boston Properties reported a decent first quarter, with funds from operations of $271.3 million, or $1.73 per share, flat compared with the $272.0 million, or $1.73 per share, in the first quarter last year. The company updated its 2024 full-year FFO guidance to $6.98-$7.12 per diluted share, a reduction of approximately $0.06 per share at the midpoint. The lower FFO guidance was mainly due to the $0.05 per share impact from noncash fair value interest expenses related to finalizing the market value of the in-place debt and interest-rate swaps for recent acquisitions. We are maintaining our $91 per share fair value estimate for Boston Properties after incorporating the first-quarter results.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Boston Properties owns premier properties in supply-constrained cities that have favorable regional dynamics and strong growth prospects. Additionally, the life sciences portfolio of the company should benefit from the strong demand in the burgeoning sector.

Bears

Employees are still reluctant to return to the office as physical building occupancy rates remain at approximately 50% of the prepandemic level.
