Single-family rental REIT AMH posts Q1 net income of $127.8M, boosted by rent growth and strong leasing.

AMH reported a solid first quarter of 2026 with net income of $127.8 million, up from $110 million a year earlier, driven by a 2.8% increase in rents and other property revenues. Core funds from operations (Core FFO) rose 4.6% year-over-year, reflecting strong operational execution and expense management. The company also saw improving occupancy and lease rate growth during the spring leasing season, delivering 539 new homes to its portfolio. AMH reaffirmed its 2026 guidance, expecting continued growth in Core FFO and property income amid economic uncertainty.
