Historical source-based research. Compilation date and financial period are different dates.
Observation
Across 6 eligible real estate companies, the equal-weight median equity as a share of assets was 40.83% for the latest selected annual periods.
Data context
The eligible sample covers 6 of 6 selected companies. The latest selected annual periods span 2025-12-31 to 2025-12-31. Companies have different fiscal year ends. This is a cross-sectional research sample, not a calendar-year index or a representation of the full sector.
Company evidence
WELL 62.60% (period 2025-12-31); PLD 53.88% (period 2025-12-31); EQIX 35.27% (period 2025-12-31); AMT 5.78% (period 2025-12-31); SPG 12.83% (period 2025-12-31); DLR 46.40% (period 2025-12-31).
Distribution
The sample range is 5.78% (AMT) to 62.60% (WELL). The median is computed across company ratios with equal weight; it is not a ratio of aggregate totals. Extreme values can reflect a small denominator or unusual accounting items.
Interpretation
Property owners and infrastructure REITs depend on occupancy, contractual income and financing. GAAP earnings and cash flow do not substitute for a reconciled FFO measure. The numerator is shareholdersEquity; the denominator is total assets. Only positive denominators and disclosed numerators qualify. No missing value is replaced with zero.
What to watch
Occupancy, leasing spreads, maturity schedules and reconciled FFO disclosures.
Research limitations
Lease rollover, refinancing, development costs, tenant concentration and property values. The sample uses a September 18, 2026 source snapshot. It does not establish current market conditions, causal drivers or future returns. Sector labels are editorial and the financial-sector cash-flow measures need particular caution.
