SPG Stock Recent News

We are recycling capital towards higher-yielding opportunities. Some REITs offer 6-8% dividend yields and growth. I present two of my favorite opportunities as of April 2025.

SPG's opening of the Jakarta Premium Outlets in Indonesia is expected to drive more traffic to this retail destination.

Jakarta Premium Outlets® welcomes local shoppers and international visitors alike INDIANAPOLIS , March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon ® (NYSE: SPG), a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today announced the opening of Jakarta Premium Outlets ® in Indonesia. Featuring more than 302,000 square feet of retail space, this is Simon's first Premium Outlet® in Indonesia and the eighth country to feature the Premium Outlet brand.

Simon Property Group offers a 5.2% dividend yield that is 148% covered by the low end of its FFO guidance range for 2025. The 15% pullback possibly presents a buying opportunity in a REIT with a fortress balance sheet and healthy retail demand for its Class A malls. SPG boasts $10.1 billion in liquidity, declining long-term debt, and excess free cash flow, supporting potential investments despite economic slowdown risks.

These dividend-paying sectors are priced like they're in crisis — yet fundamentals have never looked stronger. One sector offers extremely compelling combinations of yields and growth. The other sector could see massive upside in the near term.

INDIANAPOLIS , March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon®, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, announced today that one of its longest tenured Independent Directors, Mr. Allan B. Hubbard, is retiring, effective May 14, 2025, and will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of Simon Property Group, Inc. at Simon's® upcoming Annual Meeting.

Generating passive income by buying and holding dividend stocks is one of the most reliable ways to build wealth over the long term.

Seven of the ten lowest-priced BBB "Safer" dividend stocks, including Altria, Verizon, and Conagra, meet the dogcatcher ideal of dividends from $1000 invested exceeding single share prices. Analysts project 15.22% to 43.43% net gains for top-ten BBB dividend dogs by March 2026, with U.S. Bancorp and KeyCorp leading. Five BBB stocks, such as KeyCorp and Truist, show negative free cash flow margins, making them unsafe buys despite high yields.

SPG is poised to gain from its portfolio of premium assets, focus on omnichannel retailing and strategic buyouts, though higher e-commerce adoption is worrisome.

We are facing a challenging environment. Some REITs may not survive it. I discuss two REITs that could be facing significant trouble.
