EastGroup Properties
EastGroup Properties' revenue rose 12.7% to $721 million in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was 35.7%, up from 35.6% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $405 million, up 13.3%. It paid out $303 million in dividends and buybacks, 75% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 8.0%.
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.

Valuation
Two ways to value EastGroup Properties yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What EastGroup Properties says to expect
- Full year 2026: earnings and funds from operations per share
We now estimate EPS for 2026 to be in the range of $5.99 to $6.05 and FFO per share attributable to common stockholders for 2026 to be in the range of $9.62 to $9.68.
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 EastGroup Properties' 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 EastGroup Properties' fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $405M, net cash of −$1.6B at September 30, 2026 and 53 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to EastGroup Properties: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 14.0% 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 9% for a business of moderate risk (Industrial REITs); 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.

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.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from EastGroup Properties' earnings per share of $5.90 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 28.1×, the middle of EastGroup Properties' own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (its peers' median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
