High-yield REIT CEFs often carry hidden risks that investors overlook. Leverage and high fees can significantly reduce long-term returns. A selective REIT portfolio may deliver better risk-adjusted performance.

Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG | SPG Price Prediction) is having the kind of year most REIT investors would celebrate.

SPG benefits from strong leasing, redevelopment and liquidity, but debt and e-commerce remain key risks.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon ®, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today announced details for its second quarter earnings release and conference call.  Simon's financial and operational results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, will be released after the market close on August 10, 2026.

On CNBC's “Halftime Report Final Trades,” Jim Lebenthal, partner and chief market strategist at Cerity Partners, named Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) as his final trade.

Simon Property Group delivered robust Q1 results, raising full-year FFO guidance and demonstrating strong leasing and portfolio growth. SPG's balance sheet remains a core strength, with A credit rating, low leverage at 5.0x, and high fixed-rate debt, supporting future flexibility. The current valuation at 16.01x forward P/FFO appears fully priced, limiting near-term upside and exposing shares to downside risk amid macro uncertainty.

REITs have refused to break in 2026 despite oil-driven inflation pressure, rising Treasury yields, and a Fed narrative that flipped from multiple rate cuts to potential hikes. The “Rates Up, REITs Down” regime has weakened, with REIT-rate correlations falling sharply as fundamentals, strategy, capital allocation, and valuation catalysts increasingly drive performance. M&A has helped break the rate-driven narrative, validating public-market discounts to NAV and proving that REITs can unlock value through consolidation, privatizations, and strategic alternatives.
