Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Citi maintained its Buy rating on Kite Realty Group (NYSE:KRG), a $5.1 billion market cap retail REIT currently trading at $22.82, while lowering its price target to $28.00 from $31.00, citing increased risk factors affecting retail properties.
The price target reduction reflects Citi’s application of a lower multiple of 19x 2025 estimated AFFO, down from the previous 21x multiple, according to the research note issued Monday. The company maintains a solid 4.68% dividend yield and has maintained dividend payments for 22 consecutive years, as noted by InvestingPro.
Citi pointed to "increased risk premia around retail names" as the primary reason for the adjustment, specifically highlighting "heightened uncertainty associated with tariffs and tenant credit" in the retail sector. According to InvestingPro’s analysis, KRG maintains a GOOD financial health score, with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.
Despite the lower price target, Citi revised its 2025 FFO estimate upward to $2.08 from $2.06, suggesting some positive adjustments to forward expectations for the real estate investment trust.
The firm’s analysis incorporates recent results from Kite Realty Group alongside its revised outlook for the company’s future performance in the current retail environment.
