REG Stock Recent News

REG's premium portfolio of necessity-driven grocery-anchored shopping centers and strategic expansion augur well for growth.

O and REG target essential retail, but one REIT's global scale and dividend consistency offer added resilience.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency Centers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: REG) will announce its second quarter 2025 earnings results on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, after the market closes. The Company's earnings release and supplemental information package will be posted on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website – investors.regencycenters.com. The Company will host an earnings conference call on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Tariffs are directly fueling inflation, impacting both imported and domestic goods, and CFOs are increasingly concerned about the economic burden. Big Tech's momentum is driven by robust earnings growth, not just AI hype, so I don't see an AI bubble yet—valuations are rich but potentially justified. REITs are deeply out of favor despite improving fundamentals and attractive valuations; I see this as a long-term buying opportunity for quality names.

AI adoption will drive long-term value for REITs by boosting efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding profit margins, ultimately raising FFO and fair valuations. Management-intensive REIT sectors—like multifamily, retail, tower infrastructure, and single-family rentals—stand to benefit most from AI-powered operational improvements. Smaller REITs may gain a competitive edge as AI tools help them operate more efficiently, potentially narrowing the gap with larger players.

The Fed held rates steady and now projects only two cuts this year, with slower GDP growth and higher inflation expected in 2025-2026. Tariffs remain a net economic negative, with most of their inflationary and growth-dampening effects still ahead of us. AI and Big Tech capital expenditures are driving resilient U.S. GDP growth, offsetting broader economic fragility and tariff headwinds.

I prefer high-yielding dividend stocks that enable me to redeploy cash at regular intervals. I highlight 2 such undervalued names that are poised to deliver potentially strong returns. Both have strong business models that have enabled them to grow their asset base, all while supporting hefty dividends for shareholders.

REITweek, the annual REIT industry conference, was held last week in New York City. Humbled by frustratingly persistent interest rate headwinds and historic underperformance, the venue halls were again quiet.

Not all dividends are safe. This is particularly true in the REIT sector. I present 3 REITs that are at high risk of cutting their dividend.

Regency Centers Corporation boasts strong credit ratings (A3/A-) and a robust balance sheet, with 80% of its portfolio in grocery-anchored centers. REG's preferred stocks, REGCO and REGCP, offer yields 0.5% higher than peers, presenting an attractive risk/reward profile for income-focused investors. Despite being unrated, REG's preferreds have credit quality comparable to sector benchmarks like ADC, PSA, and FRT, supporting their investment appeal.
