Did CTO Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results

Yes. CTO Realty Growth reported Q1 2026 earnings of $0.52 a share on Apr 28, 2026, beating the $0.03 consensus estimate by 1,980.0%. Revenue was $41.2M against a $38.9M estimate.

CTO Realty Growth, Inc. delivered a strong first quarter of 2026, posting Core FFO of $0.52 per diluted share on total revenues of $41.17 million, both reflecting meaningful year-over-year improvement from $0.46 per diluted share and $35.81 million in Q1 2025. The primary engine behind the revenue gain was income properties, which climbed to $36.58 million from $31.67 million, as the company's acquisition activity translated directly into higher cash flows. The marquee deal of the quarter, an $81.60 million purchase of Palms Crossing, a 98%-leased, 399,000-square-foot open-air retail center in McAllen, Texas, exemplified the strategy, adding a high-occupancy, anchor-rich asset in a market served by over 2.3 million people. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders rose sharply to $4.33 million, compared with $383,000 a year ago. Encouraged by its momentum, CTO raised full-year Core FFO guidance to $2.06 to $2.11 per diluted share and lifted investment volume guidance to $175 million to $250 million, pointing to continued external growth through the remainder of the year.

Key Takeaways
  • Shopping center same-property NOI growth of 6.8% (4.2% excluding non-recurring recovery benefits)
  • 146,000 square feet of comparable retail leases executed at 14% positive cash rent spread
  • Total portfolio leased occupancy of 95.4%, up 160 basis points year-over-year
  • $6.2 million signed-not-open pipeline representing 5.5% of in-place cash ABR with 450 bps leased-to-occupied spread
  • Acquisition of Palms Crossing contributing to income properties revenue growth
  • Investment and other income increased to $3.2 million from $0.6 million in Q1 2025

“We're off to a strong start in 2026 on all fronts, with robust leasing, strong same-center NOI growth, and an acquisition of a high-quality open-air retail center in Texas, one of our core markets.”
