With a market cap of $66.3 billion, Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG) is a privately owned and managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, develops and manages premier shopping, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use destinations.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally considered “large-cap” stocks, and Simon’s Property fits that criteria perfectly. Its portfolio primarily includes malls, premium outlets, mills, and international retail properties in North America, Asia, and Europe.
The REIT’s shares are down slightly from a 52-week high of $205.12. SPG stock is up 10.8% over the past three months, besting the State Street Real Estate Select Sector SPDR ETF ( XLRE )’s 6.7% return over the same period.
Shares of the Indianapolis, Indiana-based company have gained 9.7% on a YTD basis, ahead of XLRE’s 8.5% increase. Over the long term, shares of Simon Properties have gained 10.6% over the past 52 weeks, compared to XLRE’s 1.7% gain over the same time frame.
The stock is in an uptrend, trading above its 200-day moving average since August 2025.
Shares of Simon Properties fell slightly after the 2025 Q4 results on February 2. The company reported FFO of $3.27 per share in the quarter, down from $3.68 per share a year ago, partially offset by an after-tax loss of $120.7 million related to the restructuring of Catalyst Brands and a $211 million convertible to $120.7 million.

In comparison, rival Realty Income Corp. ( O ) is ahead of SPG stock. Real income shares increased by 17.1% and 14.3% on a YTD basis over the previous year.
Despite SPG’s underperformance compared to its peers, analysts are moderately optimistic about the stock’s prospects. The stock has a consensus rating of “moderate buy” from the 21 analysts that cover it, and the average price target of $205.10 suggests a marginal premium to current levels.
