Welcome to our dedicated page for Copt Defense Properties SEC filings (Ticker: CDP), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
COPT Defense Properties' SEC filings reveal the detailed financial and operational metrics that drive a specialized office REIT serving government and defense contractors. Unlike diversified office REITs with broad tenant bases, COPT Defense's 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly filings break down performance by property type and geographic submarket, showing how individual office parks near government installations perform and which defense agencies drive leasing demand.
The company's quarterly 10-Q filings detail occupancy rates, lease expirations, rental rate trends, and same-property net operating income—the core metrics investors use to evaluate REIT operating performance. These reports also disclose tenant concentration, revealing how much revenue comes from direct government leases versus private defense contractors. For a REIT focused on government tenants, understanding lease expiration schedules and renewal rates proves particularly important since government lease renewals involve formal procurement processes rather than simple commercial negotiations.
Annual 10-K reports provide comprehensive breakdowns of the property portfolio, including square footage, property age, development pipeline projects, and capital expenditure requirements for maintaining government-grade facilities with security infrastructure. DEF 14A proxy statements disclose executive compensation structures and governance practices, showing how management incentives align with shareholder returns through dividend growth and portfolio performance.
Form 4 filings track insider transactions, revealing when executives and directors buy or sell CDP shares. These transactions can signal management confidence in the company's prospects or routine portfolio diversification activities. Form 8-K current reports announce material events such as property acquisitions, significant lease signings with government agencies, debt financings, and dividend declarations.
Our AI-powered summaries extract key metrics from these technical documents, highlighting segment performance, insider activity patterns, and material events without requiring you to navigate hundreds of pages of REIT accounting disclosures and footnotes. Access the complete filing history to track COPT Defense's evolution as a specialized government-focused REIT.
