Brookfield Infrastructure Partners reported a robust third‑quarter 2025 performance, with funds from operations (FFO) per unit rising 9% year‑over‑year to $0.83 from $0.76 in the same period last year. Total FFO reached $654 million, while net income climbed to $440 million, a turnaround from the $52 million loss recorded in Q3 2024. The company’s earnings per share of $0.44 beat the consensus estimate of $0.2773 by $0.1627, a 58.7% surprise, and revenue of $5.98 billion exceeded the $2.00 billion forecast by $3.98 billion, a 199% beat.
Segment‑level results underscored the company’s diversified strength. Utilities generated $190 million in FFO, transport contributed $286 million, midstream added $156 million, and data delivered $138 million—a 62% jump driven by a full‑quarter contribution from a recent tower portfolio acquisition and organic growth in colocation and hyperscale operations. Transport FFO was slightly ahead of the prior year after rate increases on rail and toll roads, but the impact of asset sales moderated the overall contribution.
Capital recycling remained a central theme. Brookfield realized more than $3 billion in proceeds from 12 asset sales, recycling $1 billion into new acquisitions and investing $500 million in four new projects. This strategy unlocks value from mature assets while funding growth initiatives, particularly in AI infrastructure, which the company cites as a key future driver.
CEO Sam Pollock highlighted the company’s momentum, noting that “Brookfield Infrastructure delivered another solid quarter, generating strong financial results and achieving our annual growth and asset sale objectives. We enter 2026 from a position of strength, with a substantial runway for growth that is further accelerated by an expanded opportunity set driven by AI infrastructure.” The statement signals confidence in continued expansion and the ability to capture inflationary benefits embedded in the portfolio.
The market welcomed the results, with analysts emphasizing the significant earnings beat and robust FFO growth. The company’s distribution of $0.43 per unit, payable on December 31, 2025, represents a 6% increase year‑over‑year, reflecting confidence in sustained cash‑flow generation. Liquidity stood at $5.5 billion, including $2.5 billion at the corporate level, underscoring a strong balance sheet that supports both dividend commitments and future investment opportunities.
