Prologis Intensifies Pressure on SEGRO Board with New Growth Pitch

Prologis is positioning its own platform as the superior alternative to SEGRO’s current reliance on project-level joint ventures. According to the firm, SEGRO’s structure forces it to surrender potential upside to partners while operating under high leverage, a model Prologis describes as a fundamental capability deficiency. By contrast, Prologis highlights its dedicated data center team of over 75 specialists and an expansive power pipeline estimated at 10GW, which it claims offers a more robust vehicle for long-term returns.

Financial performance sits at the heart of the standoff. Prologis points to analyst consensus data showing SEGRO’s forecast EPS CAGR at 4.7% for the 2025–2028 period, notably trailing the 7.1% average among European logistics competitors. While SEGRO management recently issued a 2030 guidance of 50 pence per share, Prologis maintains that this target is speculative, requiring significant capital investment that the company is currently ill-equipped to provide on its own. The firm continues to urge shareholders to push for a collaborative dialogue, aiming to convert its overtures into a binding offer.
