-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We increase our 12-month target by $1 to $27, on a forward P/FFO of 14.4x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to its 12.6x three-year P/FFO average and in line with the retail peer average (14.8x). We increase our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.02 to $1.87 and increase 2027 by $0.02 to $1.93. New lease rental growth continued to be a strong point at 23.8% in Q1, emphasizing how in-demand KIM's properties currently are. This new lease growth has driven the signed-not-opened pipeline to a record $77M. Management commented that the tenant credit profile is as strong as they can remember, a testament to KIM's work in selecting tenants less exposed to e-commerce competition in recent years. We continue to see KIM recycling low-growth assets and ground leases with proceeds used in 1031 exchange acquisitions. 2026 debt maturities are elevated, with $800M in refinancings expected in 2H 2026 at 100-125 bps higher rates, in our view.
