Bear CaseDownside scenario
$35.0020%

The occupancy recovery reverses, same-warehouse NOI remains under pressure, and weakness in Global Integrated Solutions persists, causing adjusted EBITDA or AFFO per share to fall below the lower end of 2026 guidance.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$45.1155%
Matches the consensus mean

Operating conditions continue to stabilize, with occupancy gains and warehousing growth offset by labor, power, and other cost pressure. Results finish within the company's 2026 adjusted EBITDA and AFFO-per-share guidance ranges.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$63.0025%

Occupancy normalization persists, throughput growth converts into stronger same-warehouse NOI, and cost control allows adjusted EBITDA and AFFO per share to finish above the upper ends of the company's 2026 guidance ranges.

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