Thesis Summary

Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP) is navigating a highly challenging West Coast office and studio real estate market. While the company has demonstrated operational resilience through three consecutive quarters of occupancy gains and a narrower-than-expected Q1 2026 net loss, persistent structural headwinds remain. The investment thesis hinges on a successful turnaround in West Coast office demand—particularly driven by tech and AI expansion—and a sustained recovery in Hollywood content production. However, elevated lease expirations, high leverage, and dividend sustainability concerns warrant a cautious 'Hold' stance until top-line revenue growth and occupancy stabilization show more concrete, long-term momentum.

Bear CaseDownside scenario

$5.0015%

The bear case reflects persistent office market softness, tenant downsizing, and elevated lease expirations (10.8% in 2026) that outpace new leasing activity, dragging occupancy back down. High interest rates increase refinancing costs for upcoming debt maturities, putting severe pressure on the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio and testing credit covenants. In this scenario, studio demand remains sluggish, asset sales face execution delays at wider cap rates, and the company is forced to further cut or suspend dividends to preserve liquidity.

Base CaseCentral scenario

$13.4860%

The base case assumes a gradual, back-half weighted recovery in both the office and studio segments. Office occupancy stabilizes in the high-70% to low-80% range, supported by major lease executions such as the 502,000-square-foot lease with the City and County of San Francisco. Studio operations slowly normalize following the wind-down of Quixote's leased sound stages and Atlanta operations. HPP delivers full-year 2026 Core FFO within its guided range of $1.10 to $1.18 per diluted share, while managing its leverage and refinancing risks through disciplined capital recycling.

Bull CaseUpside scenario

$26.0025%

The bull case is driven by a rapid acceleration in West Coast leasing activity, fueled by robust demand from well-funded artificial intelligence and technology tenants. In this scenario, HPP successfully achieves its target office occupancy of 81% by the end of 2026, while its rightsized studio business reaches breakeven and benefits from Hollywood policy shifts. Strategic asset sales of non-core properties easily cover near-term debt maturities, allowing the company to exceed the high end of its raised 2026 Core FFO guidance.

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

Key Investment Merits

Strong leasing momentum with 554,000 square feet of office leases executed in Q1 2026, marking the third consecutive quarter of occupancy gains.
Strategic portfolio repositioning, including the wind-down of underperforming Quixote leased sound stages and Atlanta operations, expected to drive significant cost savings.
High-quality, modern asset base located in premier West Coast innovation hubs that are well-positioned to capture demand from expanding tech and AI firms.

Key Investment Risks

Elevated near-term lease expirations, with 10.8% of the portfolio's leases expiring during 2026.
High leverage and tight covenant thresholds, specifically regarding the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio and unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense.
Slow and highly uncertain recovery timeline for the physical office sector and media production cycles on the West Coast.

Thesis Invalidation Triggers

A significant drop in office portfolio occupancy below 75%.
Failure to execute planned asset sales of approximately $200 million in 2026, leading to a liquidity crunch.
A breach of the minimum liquidity covenant ($125 million) or the Fixed Charge Coverage covenant (1.0x).
