Prologis Inc. (PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, reported impressive fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results, driving its stock up 5.1% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.
The company's strong performance was fueled by robust leasing activity following the U.S. presidential election, reflecting the growing demand for logistics facilities amid the e-commerce boom and global supply chain dynamics.

The solid results were driven by robust leasing activity, as evidenced by the company's high occupancy rate of 95.6% and strong rent growth. Net effective rent change for the quarter stood at an impressive 66.3%, reflecting the strong demand for Prologis' logistics facilities.
Looking ahead, Prologis provided an optimistic outlook for 2025, forecasting Core FFO in the range of $5.65 to $5.81 per diluted share, with average occupancy expected to remain high at 94.5% to 95.5%.
