SPG Stock Recent News

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

Despite a tough week for the market, the Dividend Harvesting Portfolio declined by only -1.8%, outperforming the S&P 500's -3.27% drop. The portfolio's diversification and focus on recurring income and risk mitigation have proven effective, with a 27.42% return on invested capital. New additions, BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund and BlackRock Resource & Commodities Strategic Trust, are expected to enhance income generation and portfolio stability.

Simon Property Group remains an attractive investment due to its strong dividend yield, robust cash flows, and high occupancy rates, despite recent price drops. SPG's Q4 earnings show solid performance with FFO per share at $3.35, supporting a 5% dividend yield and indicating potential for future dividend raises. The portfolio's high occupancy rates and strategic developments, including new international projects and mixed-use developments, ensure continued growth and resilience.

REITs are offering a historic opportunity. But not all REITs are worth buying. I highlight 3 popular to sell.

A stock's dividend yield is a key metric to consider when shopping for long-term, sustainable income picks. Dividend payments are a delicate dance for investors; offering a dividend that's too high could put the future of the company at risk while cutting dividends too severely could put off long-term investors.

Long-term bond yields continue to rise. But investors looking for income can still find plenty of attractive opportunities with dividend-paying stocks that have healthy yields. “23 stocks pay huge dividends. They should be a better bet than treasuries.” - Barron's Weekly. In a Barron's interview, Steven Wieting, strategist at Citi Wealth, noted that a growing dividend is a tangible benefit for shareholders and a hallmark of companies with strong balance sheets. "Nobody can fake a dividend," he said.
