## Elevator Pitch

- Alexandria Real Estate (ARE), a leading life science REIT, now faces a severe industry supply-demand imbalance that is driving rising vacancies, falling occupancy, and negative cash rental spreads.
- Known FY26 lease expirations will create a roughly 4% annual rental revenue headwind that is likely to persist for most of the year.
- To salvage occupancy, ARE is more than doubling property-enhancing capex intensity to about 29.5% of NOI, significantly raising the cost to secure and retain tenants.
- The 45% dividend cut and planned $2.9 billion of asset sales are largely aimed at funding this elevated capex while stabilizing leverage and maintaining balance sheet flexibility.
- Despite ARE’s deep valuation discount versus peers, declining AFFO expectations and execution risk around asset sales could justify the current multiple and constrain upside potential.
