Did SPG Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Simon Property Group delivered a decisive earnings beat in the fourth quarter of 2025, with Real Estate FFO of $3.49 per diluted share clearing the $1.97 consensus estimate by 76.86%, while revenue of $1.79 billion topped expectations by 18.80% and rose 13.2% from a year ago. The headline driver was a roughly $2.89 billion non-cash gain tied to the company's acquisition of the remaining interest in Taubman Realty Group, which required remeasuring Simon's previously held equity stake to fair value and lifted GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to $3.05 billion, or $9.35 per diluted share, versus $667.20 million in Q4 2024. Beneath that one-time lift, core operating fundamentals held firm: U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets occupancy stood at 96.4%, base minimum rent per square foot climbed 4.7% to $60.97, and retailer sales per square foot rose 8.1% to $799. Management's confidence in the underlying business was reflected in a 4.8% dividend increase to $2.20 per share quarterly, and 2026 Real Estate FFO guidance of $13.00 to $13.25 per diluted share, with analysts maintaining a broadly constructive view on the stock.
