See our latest analysis for Alexandria Real Estate Equities.
Those annual meeting approvals and the earnings beat came against a weak trading backdrop, with the share price down 7.5% over the past month and the 1 year total shareholder return falling 34.2%. This suggests sentiment has been cooling despite steady governance.

Most Popular Narrative: 48.9% Undervalued
Based on the most followed narrative, Alexandria Real Estate Equities fair value of $88 sits well above the last close at $44.97, putting a spotlight on the size of the implied discount.
As a starting point, we take NAV per share of approximately $98, representing intrinsic value based on book equity divided by shares outstanding. Given ARE’s nature as a property investment company, NAV is a standard valuation anchor.
We apply several adjustments. The sector is experiencing declining rents and occupancy. ARE recorded further property impairments in Q3 2025 (for example, $323.9 million in Q3 alone). A small portion of the portfolio consists of higher-risk investments (approximately $1.5 billion in venture investments), where valuation uncertainty is higher. Currency risk is minimal, as ARE’s activities are almost entirely USD-denominated. The current market discount (ARE trades around $54, or approximately 0.55× NAV) reflects these risks.
Curious how a company reporting accounting losses still lands on a higher fair value? The narrative leans heavily on property values, FFO power, and a tighter margin of safety. The real swing factor sits in a handful of assumptions about cash flows, impairments, and long term occupancy that you will want to see for yourself.
Result: Fair Value of $88 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the thesis can weaken quickly if occupancy drifts lower from current levels or if planned asset sales fail to close at reasonable prices.
