Sector Spotlight: Shopping Centers Are Hot, Retail REITs Are Not!

Shopping center REITs show strong fundamentals—high occupancy, rising rents, and solid NOI growth—yet trade at steep discounts to intrinsic value. Current sector valuations are mispriced, with shopping center REITs trading below peers despite superior supply/demand dynamics and AFFO growth. Recent market underperformance is likely unwarranted; if economic uncertainty fades, significant upside exists as shares could rebound to prior highs.

Shopping Centers Win In A Paucity Of Supply

Shopping center vacancies are at historic lows, with demand outpacing supply and little new construction due to prohibitively high building costs. Current rental rates are far below levels needed to justify new development, ensuring tight supply and supporting strong rental growth for existing properties. Shopping center REITs trade at significant discounts to replacement cost and NAV, offering attractive value relative to their underlying asset potential.

Whitestone REIT: Strong Leasing Trends But Limited Upside

Whitestone owns 55 commercial properties in the high-growth Texas and Arizona markets, leasing primarily to non-discretionary and service-based tenants, supporting frequent lease renewals and higher rent escalations. Q1 revenue rose 2.2% YoY to $38 million, with strong leasing spreads due to shorter lease terms, despite a slight occupancy dip to 93%. Risks include geographic concentration, short-term leases leading to higher turnover, $102.3 million in unhedged floating rate debt, and heightened credit risk among some tenants.
