Invitation Homes, the largest U.S. single-family rental home REIT, has forecast 2026 core adjusted funds from operations (FFO) between $1.60 and $1.68 per share, below Wall Street estimates. The company cited rising operating, maintenance and insurance costs in an inflationary environment as key pressures on margins. Fourth-quarter adjusted FFO stood at 41 cents per share, while revenue rose 4% year-on-year to $685.3 million, supported by steady rental demand. Same-store renewal rents increased 4.2%, with blended rental growth at 1.8%. The outlook highlights ongoing cost challenges for U.S. residential real estate investment trusts despite resilient rental housing demand.

The real estate investment trust (REIT), which owns, leases and manages single-family residential properties, said it expects core 2026 adjusted FFO per share to range between $1.60 and $1.68. The midpoint of this guidance falls below analysts average estimate of $1.97 per share, according to LSEG data.
The company continues to face rising operating and maintenance expenses, which are weighing on margins. CEO Dallas Tanner said the company would continue engaging with policymakers to support housing affordability and availability.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, adjusted FFO came in at 41 cents per share, missing analysts estimates of 48 cents per share.
Quarterly revenue rose 4% year-on-year to $685.3 million, reflecting steady rental demand across its portfolio.
Same-store renewal rent increased 4.2% compared to the previous year. Blended rental growth, which combines new lease rates and renewal rents, rose 1.8% during the quarter.
Invitation Homes has benefited from sustained demand for rental housing in the United States, but higher expenses linked to property maintenance, insurance and general operations have offset some revenue gains.
The outlook underscores the pressure facing residential REITs as they balance rental growth with rising costs in a challenging economic environment.
