1. Fourth Quarter Results and 2026 Guidance
Boston Properties reported Q4 revenue of $877.1 million, a 2.2% increase from $858.6 million in Q4 2024. Net income attributable to the company was $248.5 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $230.0 million, or $(1.45) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Fourth quarter funds from operations (FFO) were $280.2 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, down from $284.0 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, in Q4 2024 and $0.05 below the midpoint of management’s guidance. For first quarter 2026, BXP projects EPS of $0.32–$0.34 and FFO of $1.56–$1.58 per share. Full-year 2026 guidance calls for EPS of $2.08–$2.29 and FFO of $6.88–$7.04 per share, reflecting expected same-property NOI growth, incremental NOI from new developments and higher G&A expense of $0.07 per share related to non-cash amortization.
