The earnings call presents a mixed outlook. Positive aspects include increased guidance, strong portfolio management, and strategic asset sales. However, uncertainties remain due to management's lack of specificity in responses, potential risks from tenant bankruptcies, and the impact of asset sales on future growth. The market cap suggests moderate sensitivity to these factors, leading to a neutral prediction for stock price movement.
NAREIT FFO per share $0.53, with a $0.03 contribution from the sale of an outlot to an apartment developer. This transaction was embedded in the original 2025 guidance and represents unlocking value from an underutilized portion of one of the centers.

Same-property NOI Increased 2.1% year-over-year, driven primarily by a 2.6% increase in minimum rent. Outperformance was attributed to earlier-than-expected rent commencements and stronger specialty leasing income in the back half of 2025.
Impairments $39 million recognized this quarter, including $17 million at City Center and $22 million across the Carillon land and Carillon MOB. These charges reflect the gap between carrying values and estimated sale prices.
Dividend per share Increased to $0.29, representing a 7.4% increase year-over-year. This reflects the company's commitment to providing an attractive risk-adjusted yield for investors.
New Anchor Leases: Executed 7 new anchor leases with tenants including Whole Foods, Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom Rack, and HomeSense.
Small Shop Leasing: Leases signed with tenants like CAVA, Kitchen Social, Fit Peak, Rockies, and Free People, nearing previous high watermark of 92.5%.

These impairments reflect the gap between carrying values and estimated sale prices, indicating potential financial strain.
Noncore asset sales: The company plans to sell approximately $500 million in noncore assets by year-end. While this is aimed at derisking the portfolio, there is no assurance that all sales will close, which could impact financial projections and capital allocation plans.
