Simon Property Group Stock Edges Lower After Hours Despite Strong Q2 Results and Higher 2026 Guidance

Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) shares slipped about 0.2% in after-hours trading after the mall and outlet operator reported solid second-quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year Real Estate FFO guidance.

The muted reaction comes despite strong operating trends across Simon's portfolio, including higher property income, rents and retailer sales.

Real Estate FFO Rises Nearly 8%

Second-quarter Real Estate FFO increased 7.9% year-over-year to $1.249 billion, or $3.29 per diluted share, from $3.05 a year earlier.

Domestic property net operating income increased 8.5%, while portfolio NOI rose 8.3%.

Operating metrics were also strong. U.S. mall and Premium Outlet occupancy remained high at 96.0%, while base minimum rent increased 6.3% to $62.42 per square foot. Retailer sales per square foot climbed 13.9% to $838 over the trailing 12 months.

Reported net income declined to $483.1 million, or $1.49 per share, from $556.1 million, or $1.70 per share. However, the prior-year quarter included a $0.21-per-share non-cash after-tax investment gain, making the headline comparison less indicative of underlying property performance.

Simon Raises 2026 Guidance and Dividend

Management increased its full-year 2026 Real Estate FFO guidance to $13.20-$13.30 per share from $13.10-$13.25 previously.

Simon also raised its quarterly common dividend by 4.7% year-over-year to $2.25 per share.

The REIT continued returning capital through buybacks, spending $211.4 million during the quarter to repurchase common shares and limited partnership units. Simon ended June with approximately $9.3 billion of liquidity.

Why Is SPG Stock Slightly Down?

The roughly 0.2% after-hours decline is modest and does not point to a clearly negative reaction to the underlying results. Instead, investors may be weighing the strong quarter and guidance increase against already elevated expectations and the relatively modest magnitude of the guidance revision.

Fundamentally, the report showed continued strength in Simon's premium retail properties, with higher rents, strong retailer sales growth and rising NOI. The slight after-hours decline therefore appears more consistent with a muted market response than a material deterioration in the company's outlook.

Simon Property Group reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighted by record operating performance and higher shareholder returns.

For the fourth quarter, net income attributable to common stockholders surged to $3.05 billion, or $9.35 per diluted share, driven largely by a $2.89 billion non-cash gain related to the acquisition of the remaining interest in Taubman Realty Group. Real Estate Funds From Operations (FFO) rose 4.2% year over year to $1.33 billion, or $3.49 per diluted share, while domestic property net operating income increased 4.8%.

For the full year, Simon generated record Real Estate FFO of $4.81 billion, or $12.73 per diluted share, up 4.0% from 2024, and returned $3.5 billion to shareholders. Portfolio fundamentals remained solid, with U.S. mall and Premium Outlet occupancy at 96.4%, base minimum rent per square foot up 4.7% to $60.97, and retailer sales per square foot rising 8.1% to $799.

The company ended 2025 with approximately $9.1 billion of liquidity and was active in debt markets, completing $1.5 billion of senior note issuances and about $7.0 billion in secured loan transactions. Simon also increased its quarterly common dividend to $2.20 per share for the first quarter of 2026, up 4.8% year over year.

For 2026, Simon guided net income of $6.87–$7.12 per diluted share and Real Estate FFO of $13.00–$13.25 per diluted share, signaling confidence in continued cash flow and dividend growth.
