Shares of Simon Property Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spg#NYSE">SPG</a>) have soared 17.4%% in the year-to-date period compared with its industry&#39;s growth of 7.8%.
This retail real estate investment trust&#39;s (REITs) portfolio of premium retail assets in the United States and abroad, the adoption of omnichannel retailing, focus on mixed-use developments and healthy balance sheet strength have enabled it to ride the growth curve so far.

Let us now decipher the factors behind the increase in the stock price and check whether the trend will last.
Simon Property enjoys a wide exposure to retail assets across the United States. Moreover, the company&#39;s international presence fosters sustainable long-term growth as compared with its domestically-focused peers. Its ownership stake in Kl&eacute;pierre facilitates the expansion of its global footprint, which gives it access to premium retail assets in the high barrier-to-entry markets of Europe. We believe that diversification, with respect to both product and geography, will help it grow over the long term.
In the first half of 2024, it signed 572 new leases and 1,251 renewal leases (excluding mall anchors and majors, new development, redevelopment and leases with terms of one year or less) with a fixed minimum rent across its U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets portfolio.
Given the favorable retail real estate environment, this leasing momentum is expected to continue in the upcoming quarters. As of June 30, 2024, the ending occupancy for the U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets portfolio came in at 95.6%, up 90 basis points from 94.7% as of June 30, 2023. We project the 2024 year-end occupancy for this portfolio to be 95.7%.
Simon Property&#39;s adoption of an omni-channel strategy and successful tie-ups with premium retailers have paid off well. Its online retail platform, coupled with an omnichannel strategy, is likely to be accretive to its long-term growth. The company is also focused on tapping its growth opportunities by assisting digital brands enhance their brick-and-mortar presence.
Also, its efforts to explore the mixed-use development option, which has gained immense popularity in recent years, has enabled it to tap the growth opportunities in areas where people prefer to live, work and play.
<h2>SPG&#39;s Balance Sheet &amp; ROE</h2>
The retail REIT maintains a healthy balance sheet position and has $11.2 billion of liquidity as of the end of the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, Simon Property&#39;s total secured debt to total assets was 17%, while the fixed-charge coverage ratio was 4.3, ahead of the required level.
SPG also enjoys a corporate investment-grade credit rating of A- from Standard and Poor&#39;s and a senior unsecured rating of A3 from Moody&#39;s, rendering it favorable access to the debt market. The company&#39;s solid financial footing with ample financial flexibility is likely to support its growth endeavors going forward.
In addition, SPG&#39;s trailing 12-month return on equity is 78.14% compared with the industry&#39;s average of 6.28%. This reflects that the company is more efficient in using shareholders&#39; funds than its peers.
<h2>SPG&#39;s Dividend Payments</h2>
Solid dividend payouts are a massive enticement for REIT investors, and SPG has remained committed to boosting shareholder wealth. Encouragingly, the company has raised its dividend payout 11 times in the last five years, with the latest hike being announced in August 2024, concurrent with the second-quarter 2024 earnings release.
Given SPG&#39;s solid operating platform, opportunities for growth, and decent financial position compared with the industry, we expect the dividend rate to be sustainable in the upcoming period.
<h2>Risks Likely to Affect SPG&#39;s Positive Trend</h2>
rowing e-commerce adoption is likely to adversely impact the market share for brick-and-mortar stores and affect retail REITs including Simon Property. Limited consumers&#39; willingness to spend amid macroeconomic uncertainty poses key near-term concerns for the company.
<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks from the retail REIT sector are Brixmor Property Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brx#NYSE">BRX</a>) and Tanger, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/skt#NYSE">SKT</a>), each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Brixmor&#39;s 2024 FFO per share is pinned at $2.13, suggesting year-over-year growth of 4.4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Tanger&#39;s 2024 FFO per share stands at $2.09, indicating an increase of 6.6% from the year-ago reported figure.
Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO), a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Regency Centers (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/reg#NASDAQ">REG</a>) recently announced the opening of Oakley Shops at Laurel Fields, a new ground-up development anchored by Safeway in Oakley, CA.
Oakley Shops represents Regency&#39;s first development in the Northern California submarket and will encompass around 79,000 square feet of retail space. This development will be located at the signalized intersection of Laurel Road and O&#39;Hara Avenue, aiming to fill the gap of insufficient high-quality retail and grocery options in the surrounding area.
Safeway is set to occupy around 56,000 square feet at Oakley Shops, with an additional 23,000 square feet dedicated to quality retail, restaurant and essential services. Several prospective merchants are presently engaged in different stages of lease negotiations and discussions, with further announcements expected in the near future.
Regency is well-poised to benefit from its strategically located portfolio of premium shopping centers, concentrated in affluent suburban areas and near urban trade areas where consumers have high spending power. Over the years, the company has made several developments in the key markets of the United States to bolster growth.
In the second quarter, REG started approximately $40 million of new development and redevelopment projects, bringing total project starts to $120 million since the beginning of the year through Aug. 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, Regency Centers&#39; in-process development and redevelopment projects had estimated net project costs of $578 million. Given the company&#39;s prudent financial management, it is well-poised to capitalize on such opportunities.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Given the prime location of the property and its popularity, it is likely to draw in substantial consumer footfall and drive sales, making the move strategic for Regency.
Over the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have gained 20.2% compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 14.4%.
