Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AKR#NYSE">AKR</a>) ("Acadia" or the "Company") announced today the pricing of an upsized underwritten offering of 5,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest at a price to the public of $23.25 per share. The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 common shares. This reflects an upsizing of the previously announced offering of 4,500,000 common shares. The offering is expected to close on October 2, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Wells Fargo Securities, Goldman Sachs &amp; Co. LLC and Jefferies are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.
The Company has entered into forward sale agreements with each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Goldman Sachs &amp; Co. LLC and Jefferies or their affiliates (the "forward purchasers") with respect to 5,000,000 of its common shares. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers or their affiliates are expected to borrow and sell to the underwriters an aggregate of 5,000,000 common shares that will be delivered in the offering. Subject to its right to elect cash or net share settlement, which right is subject to certain conditions, the Company intends to deliver, upon physical settlement of such forward sale agreements on one or more dates specified by the Company occurring no later than September 30, 2025, an aggregate of 5,000,000 common shares to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreements. If the underwriters and forward sellers exercise their option to purchase additional shares, the Company will enter into one or more additional forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers in respect of the number of common shares that are subject to exercise of the option to purchase additional shares.
The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward purchasers or their affiliates in the offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, it receives upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements for general corporate purposes, including funding potential investment transactions, working capital and the repayment of outstanding indebtedness. Pending such usage, the Operating Partnership expects to invest the net proceeds in short-term instruments.

Realty Income (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/o#NYSE">O</a>) has announced an increase in its 2024 earnings and investment guidance. The retail REIT now projects its 2024 adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) in the range of $4.15-$4.21 per share compared with the prior guidance range of $4.13-$4.21 per share. 
Realty Income also expects its 2024 investment volume to reach $3 billion, up from $2 billion guided earlier. Per management, these raises reflect the company&#39;s confidence in its business outlook as it nears the midpoint of the year. 
Specifically, management noted that these increases stem from an improving investment environment, mainly in Europe. Also, management pointed out the company&#39;s stable operating performance in its high-quality, diversified global real estate portfolio. 
Realty Income&#39;s accretive buyouts, backed by a healthy balance sheet, bode well for long-term growth. The solid property acquisitions volume at decent investment spreads has aided the company&#39;s performance so far. Further, it has a healthy operating platform. 
Realty Income&#39;s first-quarter 2024 AFFO per share of $1.03 was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The reported figure also compared favorably with the prior-year quarter&#39;s 93 cents per share. 
Results display better-than-anticipated top-line growth. The company benefited from expansionary effects and a healthy pipeline of opportunities globally. 
Total revenues were $1.26 billion, which outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.19 billion. The top line rose 33.5% year over year. 
Realty Income&#39;s portfolio comprises a significant portion of top industries selling essential goods and services. It enjoys a well-diversified tenant base and derives the majority of its annualized contractual rents from tenants with a service, non-discretionary and/or a low-price-point component to their business, assuring stable revenue generation. However, a high interest rate environment raises concerns. 
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have risen 4.2% in the past three months against the industry&#39;s decline of 5.7%.

The consensus estimate for AKR&#39;s current-year FFO per share has been revised a cent upward over the past two months to $1.28.

Realty Income Lifts '24 Investment Guidance, Raises AFFO View

Simon Property Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spg#NYSE">SPG</a>) recently announced a reinvestment to incorporate luxury living at San Diego&#39;s top shopping destination, Fashion Valley.
The move aims to boost foot traffic and sales and attract top-tier tenants, fortifying its place in the retail real estate market and ensuring long-term value creation.
Fashion Valley, as part of a mixed-use redevelopment project, will soon feature 850 multi-family luxury residences with the help of apartment developer AMLI Residential. The project will also include 100,000 square feet of new retail and dining experiences to complement fresh and lush open green spaces and ample parking for residents and guests.
Per Mark Silvestri, president of Development at Simon Property, &quot;Simon is leading the evolution of today&#39;s retail landscape with the strategic transformation of key properties across the country. We&#39;re excited about this next phase of Fashion Valley as we continue to reinvest and add a walkable, livable lifestyle community that is intertwined with handpicked luxury brands that can only be found here. This redevelopment marks a new era of sophistication and convenient living in San Diego.&quot;
This retail and residential revitalization project is expected to commence promptly after the scheduled closure of JCPenney by the end of 2025, with an estimated completion date in late 2026.
Fashion Valley has recently undergone a multimillion-dollar revitalization, enhancing the shopping experience with a fresh new appearance and the introduction of exclusive luxury brands such as Dior, Bottega Veneta, David Yurman, and Dolce &amp; Gabbana. Additionally, it has been revealed that three more luxury brands will be added to the lineup, including Celine in the second quarter of 2024, Christian Louboutin, and Fendi in 2025.
Last week, Simon Property announced reinvestment plans for Houston&#39;s iconic The Galleria, underscoring its strategy to enhance its property portfolio. Upgrades will commence this summer and are slated for completion by early 2025.
In April 2024, the company also announced enhancements to its Woodbury Common Premium Outlets shopping center as part of a broader redevelopment initiative.
Simon Property has been restructuring its portfolio, aiming at premium acquisitions and transformative redevelopments. In fact, over the past years, the company has been investing billions to transform its properties, focusing on creating value and driving footfall.
Solid retail-real-estate demand for premium properties is likely to drive healthy demand for its properties, aiding leasing activity, occupancy levels and rent growth. Focus on supporting omnichannel retailing and developing mixed-use assets are encouraging. A healthy balance sheet will likely aid growth endeavors. However, growing e-commerce adoption and high interest rates remain concerns.
Over the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have declined 3.4%, narrower than the industry&#39;s decline of 5.5%.

Acadia Realty Trust Reaffirms FY24 Guidance For FFO Before Special Items

Recent unexpected strength in the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) and retail sales report shook the bond market this past week, triggering a sell-off in interest-rate sensitive stocks such as real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>) sank 6.5% from $85.97 to $80.32 over the past four trading days as of April 17, 2024. REITs across several different sub-sectors, such as Prologis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>), SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLG#NYSE">SLG</a>), Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>) and Equinix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQIX#NASDAQ">EQIX</a>) sold off between 5% to 8% over the same timeframe.
Not all REITs have suffered a decline. A handful have performed well during this short but volatile period and could continue outperforming other REITs should the market continue its decline. Take a look at four that bear watching.

Medical Properties Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPW#NYSE">MPW</a>) is a Birmingham, Alabama-based healthcare REIT that owns and operates 439 general acute care and other properties across the U.S. and nine other countries, with locations in Europe and Australia. Its total portfolio before the sale was $18.3 billion, with about two-thirds of those general acute care hospitals in the U.S.
Two positive events over the past week have boosted Medical Properties Trust. On April 12, Medical Properties Trust announced it would pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on May 1 to shareholders of record on April 22. This will be the second dividend paid since the dividend was cut last September from $0.29 to $0.15 per share.
After the closing bell on April 12, Medical Properties Trust announced that it sold its majority interest in five Utah hospitals to an unnamed investment fund.
The sale was to a new joint venture, with the investment fund buying 75% of the portfolio for $886 million and MPW retaining a 25% interest. Simultaneous with the closing, the venture placed new non-recourse secured financing, providing $190 million of additional cash to MPW. The two transactions combined will provide MPW with approximately $1.1 billion in cash for reducing outstanding debt, including a $300 million Australian term loan that matures this year.
On April 15, the first trading day following the announcement, Medical Properties jumped 18.80%. Over the last five trading days, Medical Properties Trust has gained 15.89%.

NewLake Capital Partners Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLCP#OTC">NLCP</a>) is a New Canaan, Connecticut internally managed specialized industrial REIT with 31 properties of 1.7 million square feet across 12 states. NewLake Capital Partners specializes in triple-net leases to cannabis companies and provides capital to them when necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;
NewLake was founded in 2019 and had its IPO in August 2021. Its tenants include the largest companies in the cannabis industry, such as Curaleaf, Cresco Labs and Trulieve. As of March 2024, it had a 100% occupancy rate, with an average of 14.3 years remaining on its lease terms and 2.6% annual rent escalations on 15- to 20-year lease terms.&nbsp;&nbsp;
On March 11, NewLake announced its Q4 operating results. Funds from operation (FFO) of $0.51 beat the estimate of $0.45 and its FFO of $0.48 in Q4 2022. Revenue of $13.02 million beat the estimate of $11.41 million and topped Q4 2022 revenue of $12.18 million.
On March 11, Newlake Capital Partners raised its quarterly dividend from $0.40 per share to $0.41 per share. The $1.64 annualized dividend yields 8.93%.
On April 2, the Florida Supreme Court approved an initiative to legalize recreational marijuana in Florida through a referendum on the November ballot. This move could benefit NewLake, as it has one Florida property leased to Curaleaf Holdings and has several other tenants with Florida locations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Over the past five trading days, NewLake Capital Partners has gained 4.46%. Investors should remember that an OTC stock with a market cap of only $388.79 million and an average daily volume of about 49,000 shares can be volatile.

Reported Earlier, Acadia Realty Trust Expands $750M Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit And Term Loan Facility

The start of the second quarter of 2024 has been challenging for real estate investment trusts (REITs). On Good Friday, when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell noted that higher-than-expected strength in job gains and inflation may delay or reduce interest rate cuts in 2024, markets again sold off interest rate-sensitive stocks such as REITs.
Despite the latest disappointment, there was some good news last week, as analysts upgraded several REITs and raised price targets on many others while still maintaining previous ratings.
Take a look at four REITs that analysts at Bank of America Securities recently upgraded.
Tanger Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKT#NYSE">SKT</a>), formerly Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc., is a Greensboro, North Carolina-based retail REIT that owns 40 indoor shopping centers and outdoor factory outlet malls with 15.6 million square feet and over 3,000 stores across 20 states and Canada. Tanger Factory Outlet Centers was founded in 1981 and had its initial public offering (IPO) in May 1993. Tanger's occupancy rate at the end of 2023 was 97.3%.&nbsp;
On Feb. 15, Tanger reported excellent fourth-quarter operating results. Funds from operations (FFO) of $0.52 beat the estimate of $0.50. Revenue of $127.48 million beat the estimate of $119.04 million and was 9.46% above revenue from the fourth quarter of 2022 of $116.46 million. Additionally, full-year core FFO was announced in a range from $2.01-$2.09 per share, with a midpoint above the analyst consensus estimate of $2.03 per share.
Tanger was the second-leading REIT overall in 2023, with a total return of 63.58%, negating the popular notion that in-store retail shopping has lost out to Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and other online websites.
On April 5, Bank of America Securities analyst Jeffrey Spector upgraded Tanger from Underperform to Neutral and raised the price target 29.1% from $24 to $31. On March 22, Citigroup analyst Michael Bilerman also upgraded Tanger from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target from $30 to $33.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AKR#NYSE">AKR</a>) is a Rye, New York-based retail REIT with 189 properties (as of the fourth quarter of 2023) across centralized urban areas in 22 states and Washington, D.C. The overall lease rate is approximately 95% with annual rent increases of 3%.
On April 5, Bank of America Securities analyst Craig Schmidt upgraded Acadia Realty Trust from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target by 11.1% from $18 to $20. This upgrade could not have come at a better time, as many retail REITs, including Acadia Realty, were getting hit hard last week following Powell's remarks.
Acadia will announce its first-quarter 2024 earnings on April 29.&nbsp;
Essex Property Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESS#NYSE">ESS</a>) is a residential REIT that owns and operates 252 apartment communities with 62,000 units in the West Coast states of California and Washington. Essex Property Trust is a member of the S&amp;P 500 and a Dividend Aristocrat.&nbsp;
On March 25, Essex Property Trust acquired JV Partner's 49.9% interest in four apartment communities, with 1,480 units for a total purchase price of $505 million.&nbsp;
On April 1, Bank of America Securities analyst Joshua Dennerlein upgraded Essex Property Trust from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target by 10% from $250 to $275.
Analyst price targets vary widely. Within the past two weeks, Truist Securities has maintained a Hold on Essex with a $259 price target, and Piper Sandler has maintained an Overweight position and a $291 price target.&nbsp;
Healthpeak Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOC#NYSE">DOC</a>) is an El Segundo, California-based diversified healthcare REIT that owns and operates private-pay facilities such as life science centers, medical offices and continuing care retirement communities. Although it has properties across the country, most are in the San Francisco, San Diego and Boston areas.&nbsp;
Healthpeak's IPO was created in 1985, and it was added to the S&amp;P 500 in 2008. It owns 477 properties totaling over 50 million square feet with over 2,500 tenants, worth over $20 billion.
On March 1, Healthpeak officially merged with Physicians Realty Trust in an all-stock-for-stock transaction.&nbsp;
On April 1, Bank of America Securities analyst Dennerlein upgraded Healthpeak Properties from Underperform to Buy, while raising the price target 38.8% from $18 to $25.&nbsp;
Healthpeak will announce its first-quarter 2024 earnings on April 26.
