Retail REITs Q2 Earnings to Watch on Jul 28: CBL, KRG & More

Now, we are at the peak of second-quarter earnings releases with companies in various spaces including Real estate investment trust (“REIT”) having reported their results.  To date, all categories of REITs have come up with their earnings numbers.

This week will see a deluge of second-quarter earnings releases with many companies in the REIT space reporting their earnings numbers.

Some retail REITs which are slated to release their results on Jul 28 are CBL & Associates Properties Inc. CBL, Kite Realty Group Trust KRG, Taubman Centers, Inc. TCO and Weingarten Realty Investors WRI.

According to a study by CBRE Group Inc. CBG, retail sales picked up during second-quarter 2016, and the expansion of omni-channel retailing raised the demand for space in brick-and-mortar centers. Further, amid reviving retail sales, national retail availability rate declined to the lowest level since 2008. In second-quarter 2016, retail availability averaged 10.9%, down 10 basis points (bps) on a sequential basis and 30 bps year over year. Encouragingly, in two-thirds of the U.S. markets retail availability has tightened and this trend is expected to continue, backed by the solid job market report for June and strong momentum in retail spending.

Now let’s take a look at what’s in store for these retail REITs which are slated to report tomorrow.

For doing this, we rely on the Zacks methodology, combining a favorable Zacks Rank – Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) – and a positive Earnings ESP, to predict the chances of a beat this quarter.

Our proprietary methodology, Earnings ESP, shows the percentage difference between the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Research shows that with this combination of rank and ESP, chances of a positive earnings surprise are as high as 70% for the stocks.

Chattanooga, Tennessee-based CBL & Associates Properties is engaged in owning, developing, acquiring, leasing, managing and operating regional shopping malls, open-air centers, community centers and office properties. The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3. Our model does not conclusively predict that the company will record a positive surprise.
