Adaptimmune stock plunges after announcing Nasdaq delisting plans
Investing.com - Evercore ISI downgraded Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG) from Outperform to In Line on Monday, while simultaneously raising its price target to $187.00 from $183.00. The stock, which currently trades at $182.47, has shown remarkable strength with a market capitalization of $68.8 billion and an impressive InvestingPro Financial Health Score of "GREAT."
The research firm cited limited potential upside as the primary reason for the downgrade, noting that Simon Property Group shares have already gained 10% year-to-date.
This stock performance represents twice the average return seen across the broader REIT sector, according to Evercore ISI’s analysis.
The firm’s new price target of $187.00 reflects a modest 2.2% increase from its previous target of $183.00, despite the downgrade in rating from Outperform to In Line.
Simon Property Group, one of America’s largest mall operators, has outperformed many peers in the retail REIT space during 2025, contributing to Evercore’s view that the stock has limited room for additional appreciation.
