Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the expected same-store NOI growth for Q2 2026?

How has the occupancy rate changed compared to the previous quarter?

A stable or increasing occupancy rate is essential for revenue stability and reflects demand for retail spaces.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The market may be underestimating the potential for Acadia to improve occupancy and NOI growth, especially in high-demand areas.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, indicating potential for a surprise.

Acadia's focus on tenant relationships could lead to better retention and occupancy rates.

Recent trends in consumer spending may favor retail spaces, contradicting bearish sentiment.

Key Risk

If the occupancy rate falls below 94%, it could invalidate the optimistic outlook.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's performance will be closely watched as it reflects the ongoing recovery in the retail sector and Acadia's ability to adapt.

Bull Confirmed If

Achieving a same-store NOI growth of 4% or higher would confirm the bull case and suggest strong demand.

Bear Confirmed If

A decline in occupancy rates below 94% would reinforce the bear case and raise concerns about future revenue.
