A plain-English look at Prologis's revenue, profit, and market value, and what the numbers say about the industrial real estate giant's scale today.
Warehouses You've Never Seen, But Use Anyway
Every time a package lands on your doorstep, there's a decent chance it passed through a building owned by Prologis. The company doesn't sell anything you'd recognize on a shelf. Instead, it owns and operates the physical backbone of e-commerce and global trade: roughly 1.3 billion square feet of industrial and logistics facilities spread across the world.
From Two Companies to One
Prologis as it exists today was formed in 2011, when AMB Property and Prologis Trust merged. That combination created a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized into global divisions covering the Americas, Europe, and Asia. REITs are structured to own and manage income-producing property, and Prologis has become one of the largest players in that space, focused specifically on the warehouses and distribution centers that keep goods moving.
What the Company Actually Does
Beyond owning buildings, Prologis runs a strategic capital business that manages around $60 billion in third-party assets. That means other investors put money into Prologis-managed real estate funds, and the company earns fees for overseeing those assets — a business line layered on top of its core role as a landlord to logistics tenants.
A Lean Workforce for a Massive Footprint
What's notable is how few people it takes to run an operation this size. Prologis employs approximately 2,802 people company-wide, a relatively small headcount given that it oversees more than a billion square feet of property. That's typical of REITs, which rely on long-term leases and outside contractors rather than large in-house staffs.
Sizing Up the Financials
In its most recent fiscal year, Prologis reported revenue of $8.8 billion and net income of $3.3 billion. That means the company kept a substantial share of every dollar it brought in — a sign of a profitable, well-established operation rather than a growth-stage startup still burning cash.
Growth Over Time
Revenue climbed 85% between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2025, a meaningful expansion over four years. Growth of that scale for a company already generating billions in revenue suggests sustained demand for the kind of industrial space Prologis specializes in.
The Balance Sheet Picture
Prologis holds total assets of $98.7 billion, reflecting the scale of the real estate it owns and manages. On the public markets, the company carries a market capitalization of $134.8 billion, meaning investors collectively value the entire company at that level based on its share price.
Where the Stock Stands Today
Shares recently traded at $140.87, sitting about 5% below their 52-week high. The stock carries a price-to-earnings ratio of 39.6, a figure that reflects how the share price compares to the company's per-share earnings. Prologis also pays a dividend yielding approximately 3.04% annually, a common feature among REITs, which are generally required to distribute a large portion of taxable income to shareholders.
A Long Public History
Prologis has traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PLD since its IPO in November 1997, giving it nearly three decades as a publicly listed company headquartered in San Francisco, California. That long track record, paired with its current scale, places Prologis among the more established names in the financial services and real estate sectors.
