Global logistics real estate major Prologis has reported stronger-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter, underscoring the continued resilience of warehouse demand amid evolving supply chain and e-commerce dynamics. The warehouse-focused real estate investment trust posted revenue of USD 2.25 billion for the quarter ended December, exceeding market expectations of USD 2.15 billion. The performance was supported by sustained demand from retailers and manufacturers seeking modern storage, distribution and fulfilment facilities to support long-term inventory strategies. While core funds from operations met estimates, the company offered a cautious full-year outlook, marginally below consensus forecasts. Prologis also highlighted progress in its data centre power pipeline and renewable energy initiatives, reinforcing its long-term growth strategy anchored in logistics infrastructure, digital enablement and disciplined capital deployment across global markets.

The San Francisco-based real estate investment trust reported revenue of USD 2.25 billion for the quarter ended December 31, surpassing analysts expectations of USD 2.15 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

The outperformance highlights the continued importance of logistics infrastructure as retailers and manufacturers recalibrate supply chains and prioritise efficient inventory management. Prologis develops, owns and manages warehouses, distribution centres and fulfilment facilities across 20 countries, catering to a diverse tenant base that includes global names such as Amazon, Home Depot, FedEx and UPS. The company currently owns and operates approximately 1.3 billion square feet of logistics real estate spread across nearly 5,900 facilities worldwide.
Management indicated that tenant behaviour has shifted toward longer-term planning, with customers increasingly committing to space decisions amid stabilising economic conditions. Chief executive Daniel Letter noted that occupiers are displaying greater confidence in making long-term commitments, reflecting the strategic role of logistics assets in supporting e-commerce growth and resilient supply chains.
From a financial standpoint, Prologis reported core funds from operations of USD 1.44 per share for the quarter, broadly in line with market estimates. For the full year, the company expects core FFO to be in the range of USD 6 to USD 6.20 per share. While the midpoint of this guidance is marginally below analysts expectations of USD 6.13 per share, management reiterated confidence in the underlying earnings trajectory, supported by embedded rent growth and disciplined investment activity.
The company's shares rose around 1% in premarket trading following the results, indicating a positive initial market response to the revenue beat and commentary on demand fundamentals. Chief financial officer Timothy Arndt highlighted Prologis's global scale and access to capital as key differentiators, noting that these strengths position the company well to pursue growth opportunities through 2026 and beyond.
Beyond its core warehousing business, Prologis also reported progress on strategic initiatives aligned with digital infrastructure and sustainability. During the quarter, the company expanded its data centre power pipeline to 5.7 gigawatts, reflecting rising interest in integrating logistics real estate with data-driven and energy-intensive uses. In parallel, Prologis surpassed its target of installing 1 gigawatt of solar and battery storage capacity, reinforcing its push toward renewable energy deployment across its global portfolio.
Overall, the latest results underline the durability of demand for high-quality logistics assets, even as broader commercial real estate markets remain uneven. With its global footprint, blue-chip tenant base and growing exposure to data and energy infrastructure, Prologis continues to position itself as a key beneficiary of long-term shifts in consumption, supply chain design and industrial real estate usage.
