# Prologis Moat

Status: published. Policy: company-analysis-1.

Prologis has a narrow moat from strategically located logistics properties, supported by its global customer platform. Realized pricing is strong: commenced leases achieved 34.2% net effective rent increases in the first half of 2026, alongside 95.4% occupancy. However, rollover gains reflect accumulated market rent growth, while recent market rental growth has been lower or negative. Above-market occupancy supports differentiation, but fragmented competition and limited evidence of durable relative pricing constrain the verdict.

## intangible_assets

Ownership of strategically located properties near population centers, labor and transportation infrastructure creates a location advantage. The global customer platform supports this advantage, but does not establish network effects or independently demonstrated switching costs.

Durability: Existing sites and local entitlement expertise are difficult to reproduce quickly. Above-market occupancy in 2025 and strong 2026 leasing outcomes support a current advantage. Its persistence across a full supply cycle is less established; data centers and undeveloped land represent additional potential rather than proven moat extensions.

Risks: Competing supply can constrain rents and occupancy. Recent lower or negative market rental growth shows that large rollover increases can coexist with weakening market conditions. California concentration increases exposure to local conditions.

Invalidation: The thesis would weaken materially if occupancy persistently fell to or below relevant market benchmarks, or if rollover rents became persistently negative after embedded lease gains expired while comparable markets remained healthier. Repeated concessions or tenant losses despite comparable competing availability would further undermine location differentiation.
