The company has topped Wall Street’s bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters. Its earnings of $0.48 per share in the previous quarter outpaced the forecasted figure by a penny.

Invitation Homes shares declined 4.3% after the company reported its Q4 2025 results on Feb. 18. Same Store NOI grew just 0.7% year over year, as core revenues increased 1.7% but were offset by operating expenses that rose by 4%.
