Sun Communities Reports 10 Core FFO Per Share Below Estimates
February 24, 2026

Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE: SUI), a leading owner and operator of manufactured housing communities, reported a 10-core FFO (funds from operations) per share of $1.24 for the quarter ended February 2026, falling short of both the prior quarter’s performance and current estimates. The results mark a decline from the $1.32 10-core FFO per share recorded in the same period last year and missed the $1.36 estimate provided by analysts.

The 10-core FFO metric, a non-GAAP measure widely used in real estate investment trusts (REITs) to assess operational performance, excludes certain items such as gains on asset sales, depreciation, and amortization. For Sun Communities, this figure reflects recurring cash flows from its portfolio of 145 manufactured housing communities across 20 states.

The decline in 10-core FFO per share suggests potential challenges in maintaining growth momentum. Factors such as rising interest rates, increased maintenance costs, or softer demand in the manufactured housing sector could contribute to the shortfall, though the company has not yet provided a detailed breakdown of specific drivers.

Investors and analysts may scrutinize Sun Communities’ upcoming earnings call and investor presentation for further clarity on operational strategies and financial outlook. The company’s ability to stabilize or improve its FFO performance will likely influence investor sentiment, particularly amid broader economic uncertainties.

As of February 24, 2026, shares of Sun Communities were trading at $38.45, down 2.1% year-to-date. The market’s reaction to these results underscores the importance of consistent cash flow generation for REITs reliant on long-term asset management. Future reports will be critical in determining whether this quarter’s performance reflects a temporary setback or a broader trend.
