Sun Communities beat third quarter 2026 Core FFO estimates following $1.03B UK asset sale

Sun Communities reported third quarter 2026 Core FFO per share of $2.35, outperforming consensus estimates. Financial statements have been recast to reflect the $1.03 billion sale of the UK business as discontinued operations, resulting in lower reported revenue but a more focused portfolio. Growth continues to be anchored by the manufactured housing segment, which offset softer performance in recreational vehicle properties.

Key Highlights

• Core FFO per share of $2.35 beat the analyst estimate of $2.30, up from $2.28 in the prior year period.
• Same Property NOI increased 3.6% for the quarter, driven by a 6.9% gain in Manufactured Housing (MH) despite a .1.3% decline in the RV segment.
• Blended occupancy for MH and annual RV sites remained high at 98.8% on a same-property basis.
• The company utilized UK sale proceeds to repurchase 2.4 million shares for $293.3 million during the quarter and an additional 0.7 million shares in October.
