Prologis has acquired 69 acres in Minooka, Illinois, for a logistics development totaling just over 1M SF, according to Bisnow.

The site sits next to Canadian National Railway's Chicago Logistics Hub, which is under construction, and Prologis investment officer Josh Bauer said the project will provide modern logistics capacity in a market the company describes as supply constrained. The Minooka project follows Prologis's purchase of 26.2 acres in Glendale Heights in central DuPage County, where it plans two Class A logistics facilities totaling 454K SF, and adds to a Chicago-area portfolio of 341 properties totaling more than 79M SF.

The most followed narrative values the company at $61.75 per share, slightly above the last close of $58.35, implying modest undervaluation. Management highlights that investments such as the IQHQ deal, expected to yield over 14% and senior to $4 billion in equity, will be highly accretive to adjusted funds from operations.

The company also lifted its same-store net operating income outlook to a range of negative 3% to 0%, citing better-than-expected second-quarter results that included approximately $320 million in adjusted EBITDA and AFFO of roughly $198 million, or $0.76 per share. However, the Global Integrated Solutions segment outlook was lowered to a decline of 4% to 2%, reflecting a $7 million legal settlement and carrier-rate lag. Management highlighted a 90-basis-point year-over-year increase in same-store physical occupancy as a welcome inflection point, while noting that same-store throughput pallets declined 1.8% and container volumes fell 14%. The company is pursuing a strategic portfolio review aimed at reducing leverage toward 5.0x to 5.5x, with a meaningful update expected within the calendar year.

Lineage Inc reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2026 results, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $320 million and adjusted funds from operations of $0.76 per share, both ahead of internal expectations and consensus estimates. Same-store physical occupancy increased 90 basis points year-over-year, marking the first year-over-year increase since the company went public, while same-store net operating income declined 2.9% year-over-year, widening from the prior quarter's negative 0.9% due to a step-down in foreign exchange benefits and elevated international services activity. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance for same-store net operating income to a range of negative 3% to 0% and adjusted funds from operations per share to $2.80 to $3.05, reflecting better-than-expected operational performance and cost management. Lineage also highlighted progress on its LinOS technology rollout, with all 14 conventional sites hitting internal savings targets and plans to deliver 20 conventional buildings by year-end, supporting a goal of $110 million in EBITDA impact. The Big Bear facility fire in Los Angeles is expected to create a drag of approximately $15 million on adjusted EBITDA in the third and fourth quarters, and the company's reported leverage remains elevated at approximately 6.0 times, with a commitment to bring it down to a targeted range of 5.0 to 5.5 times.

Lineage reported second-quarter results that exceeded expectations, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $320 million and adjusted funds from operations of $198 million, or $0.76 per share, as improved occupancy and cost controls offset trade-related volume pressure. The company raised its full-year same-store net operating income growth guidance to a range of negative 3% to flat, up from prior guidance of negative 4% to negative 1%, and increased its AFFO guidance to $2.80 to $3.05 per share from $2.75 to $3.00. However, headwinds persist, including a 1.8% decline in same-store throughput pallets, a 14% drop in container volumes, and an expected $15 million EBITDA reduction in the second half from a fire at its Big Bear facility. Lineage also lowered its full-year Global Integrated Solutions NOI outlook to negative 4% to negative 2% due to carrier-rate pressure and a $7 million legal settlement.

Prologis announced it will proceed with its $18.8 billion acquisition of London-based logistics warehouse operator Segro. The company put forward its best-and-final offer last month after multiple rejections from Segro's board. Prologis also launched a public offering of 15 million common shares to help fund the deal, expecting $2.1 billion in gross proceeds, with underwriters J.P. Morgan and BofA Securities holding a 30-day option for up to an additional 2.25 million shares. The combination will expand Prologis' European portfolio by 47% to 368 million square feet and add a 13-million-square-foot development pipeline, creating a combined entity with $269 billion in assets under management. Segro stockholders will receive 0.092 new Prologis shares per share held, with an option for up to 25% in cash, and the deal is expected to be neutral to minimally dilutive to funds from operations in the first full year after closing, scheduled for the first half of 2027.

Prologis and SEGRO have reached agreement on a recommended share offer with a partial cash alternative, under which Prologis will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of SEGRO. The Combination Consideration of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share represents a premium of approximately 39.0 per cent to SEGRO’s closing share price of 742 pence on 23 June 2026. SEGRO Shareholders will receive 0.0920 New Prologis Shares for each SEGRO Share, with a Partial Cash Alternative of up to £3,509,777,110.70, representing approximately 25 per cent of the total value of the consideration based on a fixed price of 1,031.7 pence per SEGRO Share. The SEGRO Directors intend unanimously to recommend the Combination, which is expected to complete in H1 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Combined Group would bring together two high-quality portfolios with approximately £200 billion of assets under management.

British warehouse developer Segro has accepted a £14 billion takeover offer from US rival Prologsis. The FTSE 100 group had previously rebuffed three offers, the last worth about £13.5 billion, before Prologsis made a best and final offer late last month. Segro’s board recommended the deal, calling the terms fair and reasonable, with shareholders receiving 1,032p per share, paid largely in stock plus £3.5 billion in cash. The combined entity will seek a secondary listing in London.

Prologis has reached an agreement with the board of SEGRO on a recommended acquisition valuing SEGRO's entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital at approximately $18.8 billion. Under the terms, SEGRO shareholders will receive 0.0920 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share, with a partial cash alternative of up to approximately £3.5 billion available. The combination will create a European operating portfolio of 368 million square feet, expanding Prologis' European footprint by 47%, and establish a combined European development pipeline of 13 million square feet while increasing Prologis' European land bank by 126%. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to SEGRO shareholder approval, court sanction, regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions. Prologis expects the deal to have a broadly neutral to minimally dilutive impact on Core FFO per share and AFFO per share in the first full year following completion, and plans to maintain its A2/A credit ratings.

London stocks closed lower on Thursday as the widening Middle East conflict and a surge in oil prices unnerved investors. The FTSE 100 index fell 77.80 points, or 0.7%, to 10,639.17, while the FTSE 250 dropped 1.3% and the AIM all-share lost 0.8%. Brent crude topped 100 dollars a barrel for the first time since May after Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi tankers, and US President Donald Trump threatened Iran and the Houthis with major military punishment. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged but signalled that higher energy costs could reignite inflation, with President Christine Lagarde suggesting another rate hike could come as soon as September. In London, oil majors BP and Shell rose 3.1% and 1.6% respectively, while Segro led the FTSE 100 with a 6.5% gain after saying it was prepared to recommend a takeover proposal from Prologis that values the company at around 14 billion pounds. Centrica sank 10% after reporting lower operating profit and revenue, and on the FTSE 250, CVS Group fell 6% despite higher annual revenue, citing a challenging UK economic backdrop.

British data centre owner Segro is set to accept a £14 billion takeover offer from American warehousing giant Prologis. Segro said on Wednesday it would probably agree to the bid after Prologis improved its offer to what it called its best and final proposal of £10.32 a share, an all-share deal with a cash alternative. The deadline for a binding offer has been extended to August 12. If completed, it would be the largest takeover of a London-listed company this year, adding to a wave of departures from the London stock market.

HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital has entered into a new US$2.25 billion, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility and a US$400 million, 3-year senior unsecured term loan, both featuring CarbonCount-linked pricing and replacing smaller prior facilities. The expanded financing, which includes improved margins and full participation from 18 existing relationship banks, signals strong lender confidence in the company's credit quality and climate-focused investment strategy. This larger, sustainability-linked credit capacity is expected to enhance funding flexibility and could serve as a catalyst for growth opportunities, including partnerships with Sunrun and Ameresco, though higher leverage and a dividend not fully covered by earnings remain key risks.

HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital has entered into new CarbonCount-based credit facilities totaling $2.65 billion, reshaping its unsecured funding arrangements ahead of its second quarter 2026 earnings release. The stock closed at $38.42, up 20.74% year to date, with a 50.76% total shareholder return over one year. Its preferred P/E multiple stands at 91 times, well above the US Diversified Financial industry average of 15.9 times and a peer average of 10.4 times, and also above an estimated fair P/E of 19.3 times. A discounted cash flow model, however, estimates a fair value of $51.62 per share, about 25.6% above the current price.

Prologis has submitted a third takeover proposal for SEGRO, increasing its offer and introducing a partial cash alternative after previous proposals were rejected. The revised proposal offers 0.0890 new Prologis shares for each SEGRO share, a 6% increase from the initial proposal, and includes a partial cash alternative of up to £2.7 billion, representing 20% of the total consideration at a fixed price of 1,000 pence per SEGRO share, subject to pro-rata scale-back. Based on Prologis's closing share price on July 17, the proposal values each SEGRO share at 993 pence and SEGRO's equity at approximately £13.5 billion. The offer represents premiums of 9.7% to adjusted NAV, 33.8% to the June 23 closing price, 36% to the one-month VWAP, and 41.1% to the three-month VWAP. Upon completion, assuming the partial cash alternative is fully subscribed, existing SEGRO shareholders would own approximately 9.2% of the combined company.

Prologis raised its 2026 net earnings guidance for common stockholders to a range of US$4.40 to US$4.55 per diluted share, up from the prior US$3.80 to US$4.05, following a quarter of record leasing activity. The company reported a record 67 million square feet of leases and 95.5 percent occupancy, and started US$1.60 billion of new logistics and data center projects, including a 260 megawatt data center campus. The upgraded guidance and record leasing volumes reinforce the near-term earnings catalyst, though elevated market vacancy of 7.4 percent remains a risk. Prologis also raised its 2026 Core FFO guidance alongside the earnings outlook.

Prologis Inc reported record leasing activity of 67 million square feet in the second quarter of 2026 and raised its full-year core FFO guidance to a range of $622 to $630 per share.

Prologis also provided net earnings guidance of $440 to $455 per share and expects average occupancy between 95.25% and 95.75%.
