Thesis Summary

BXP's second-quarter results show an improving operating trajectory: occupancy reached 88.4%, quarterly revenue increased 3.1%, FFO was $1.78 per diluted share, and management raised full-year 2026 FFO guidance to $6.99-$7.05. The recovery is not yet complete, however, because occupancy remains below management's longer-term objective and the Sumner Square impairment illustrates continuing asset-level pressure. More than $1.0 billion of strategic dispositions provides evidence of capital-recycling execution. A Hold balances this progress against execution risk.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$60.0018%

Occupancy finishes 2026 below 89%, FFO falls below the current guidance floor, or additional asset-level weakness produces further impairments and slows portfolio stabilization.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$75.1558%
Matches the consensus mean

Occupancy continues to recover toward management's year-end objective and full-year FFO remains within the $6.99-$7.05 guidance range, but residual vacancies and selective asset impairments keep the recovery gradual.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$91.0024%

Leasing momentum converts signed commitments into occupancy near 90% by year-end 2026 and approximately 91% by year-end 2027, while FFO remains at or above the current guidance range and capital recycling supports continued portfolio improvement.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Risks
  • Occupancy remains below management's approximately 90% year-end 2026 objective and 91% year-end 2027 objective.
  • A $0.10-per-share non-cash impairment associated with the anticipated Sumner Square disposition demonstrates continuing asset-level valuation pressure.
  • Further execution is required to complete the multi-year portfolio-stabilization and capital-recycling plan.
