MAA repurchased 1.3 million common shares for $172.8 million during the first nine months of 2026 at a weighted-average price of $129.41 per share, compared with no repurchases in the same 2025 period. On October 1, 2026, MAA redeemed all outstanding Series I preferred shares, eliminating approximately $3.7 million of annual preferred-dividend obligations. The redemption removed a higher-cost capital component and is expected to be modestly accretive to future FFO per share and cash flow available to common shareholders.
