1Q26 results were solid, with a guidance raise primarily driven by strong MH

growth. That said, shares are down 4.1% in the last month, reflecting elevated Rafi Lewis

expectations. Transient RV revenue growth will be key to watch, as management Research Associate

slightly lowered its expectation for FY26 on the call (now -1.9% vs. -1.5% as

described on last quarter’s call). The company continues to be tight-lipped

regarding a potential sale of the UK business, as it’s been reportedly exploring.

Key changes

As we’ve written, we believe a sale is a play for long-term multiple expansion given

that it would make SUI a cleaner story; however, at the reported bidding price of

~£700M-£800M ($950M-$1,080M at today’s exchange rate) we believe FFO/sh Source: Deutsche Bank

dilution would be ~5%, which could negatively impact sentiment. Given strong

MH operations and the 1Q26 beat, we are slightly raising our estimates but

remain at Hold.

Transient Growth Expectations Slightly Lowered: On the RV side, management

noted that bookings for transient are ahead of the same time last year. 1Q26 NA

SS transient revenue growth (-1.7%) was helped by an easy comp (-20.5% in

1Q26).
