Oct 17 (Reuters) - Warehouse-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) Prologis PLD.N reported better-than-expected quarterly funds from operations (FFO) per share on Tuesday on higher rental revenue but warned of demand pressures.
The company said rental revenues rose to $1.78 billion from $1.15 billion a year ago, but CEO Hamid Moghadam warned that " customer sentiment" will weigh on demand until the economy stabilizes.
Prologis, which counts e-commerce giant Amazon AMZN.O as a customer, reported a core FFO of $1.30 per share in the third quarter, compared with analyst estimates of $1.26 per share, as per LSEG data.
The San Francisco, California-based company also reported total revenues of $1.92 billion compared to $1.75 billion a year ago. Its profit fell to 80 cents per share but beat analyst expectations of 57 cents per share.
Prologis focuses on logistics real estate and operates in 19 countries, per its latest annual report. Last year, it expanded its presence in key U.S. markets after agreeing to a $26 billion deal to buy Duke Realty Corp.
