Alexandria Real Estate Equities
Alexandria Real Estate Equities' revenue fell 2.9% to $3.0 billion in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was −47.2%, down from 10.4% a year earlier. Free cash flow was −$457 million. It paid out $1.1 billion in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 1.0%.
Net margin is net income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.
Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2017 to 2024, earnings per share grew 1.9% a year and net income 9.7% a year, as new shares raised the share count by 87% and diluted each share's earnings. Alexandria Real Estate Equities then lost money in fiscal 2025.

Valuation
Two ways to value Alexandria Real Estate Equities yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What Alexandria Real Estate Equities says to expect
- Fourth quarter 2026: annualized leverage
On track for annualized 4Q26 leverage guidance of 5.6 x to 6.2 x while maintaining $4.6B in liquidity
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Alexandria Real Estate Equities' 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Alexandria Real Estate Equities' cash from operations minus depreciation in fiscal 2025 (free cash flow before spending to grow, as its free cash flow was negative) of $64M, net cash of −$11.9B at December 31, 2025 and 170 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Alexandria Real Estate Equities: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 5.3% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 11%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Office REITs), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $7.4B, plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2025); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target. A negative value means Alexandria Real Estate Equities' net debt is larger than what that scenario's cash flows are worth today.
- Last close, October 26, 2026

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and Alexandria Real Estate Equities' latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.
