LXP Industrial Trust (NYSE:LXP) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, delivering mixed results relative to analyst expectations. The industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) posted revenue of $87.72 million, narrowly beating the consensus estimate of $87.72 million. However, the company’s earnings per share (EPS) of $0.16 significantly outperformed the estimated loss of ($0.0135) per share.
Key Takeaways from Q2 2025 Earnings
Revenue: $87.72 million (vs. estimate of $87.72 million) – a marginal beat.
EPS: $0.16 (vs. estimate of -$0.0135) – a substantial positive surprise.
Market Reaction: The stock showed muted pre-market movement, up just under 1%, suggesting investors were largely anticipating these results. Over the past month, shares have declined slightly (-2.3%), reflecting broader market trends or sector-specific pressures rather than a direct response to earnings.
Performance & Outlook
While LXP Industrial Trust did not provide explicit forward guidance in its press release, analysts have projected:
Q3 2025 Revenue Estimate: $89.13 million (a slight sequential increase).
Full-Year 2025 Revenue Estimate: $356.21 million.
Full-Year 2025 EPS Estimate: $0.0067, indicating expectations of minimal profitability.
The company’s ability to turn a profit in Q2—where analysts had expected a loss—could signal improved operational efficiency or better-than-expected leasing activity. However, the lack of a strong post-earnings rally suggests that investors remain cautious, possibly due to macroeconomic concerns affecting the industrial real estate sector.
