August 07, 2026 07:00 ET  | Source: Macerich Company

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) (“Macerich”) announced today that its operating partnership, The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (“Macerich Partnership”), priced its offering of $675 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% exchangeable senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering was upsized from the previously announced offering size of $600 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Macerich will fully and unconditionally guarantee the notes on a senior, unsecured basis. The issuance and sale of the notes are scheduled to settle on August 11, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Macerich Partnership also granted the initial purchasers of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Macerich Partnership, and will accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2027. The notes will mature on August 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, exchanged or redeemed. Before May 15, 2031, noteholders will have the right to exchange their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. From and after May 15, 2031, noteholders may exchange their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the notes. Exchanges will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be exchanged and, if applicable, cash, shares of Macerich’s common stock or a combination thereof, at Macerich Partnership’s election, in respect of the remainder (if any) of Macerich Partnership’s exchange obligations in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being exchanged. The initial exchange rate is 35.4761 shares of Macerich’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial exchange price of approximately $28.19 per share of Macerich’s common stock. The initial exchange price represents a premium of approximately 20% over the last reported sale price of $23.49 per share of Macerich’s common stock on August 6, 2026. The exchange rate and exchange price of the notes will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at Macerich Partnership’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 20, 2029 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the notes, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Macerich’s common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price of the notes for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. Macerich Partnership may also redeem the notes, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at any time, and from time to time, if Macerich’s board of directors (or a committee thereof) determines such redemption is necessary to preserve Macerich’s status as a real estate investment trust. In either case, the redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The holders of the notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Macerich will agree to register the resale of the shares of Macerich’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of the notes under the Securities Act.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, Macerich Partnership and Macerich entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Macerich’s common stock initially underlying the notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately $34.06 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 45% over the last reported sale price of Macerich’s common stock on August 6, 2026, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Macerich’s common stock upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payments Macerich Partnership is required to make in excess of the principal amount of exchanged notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

Macerich Partnership has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Macerich’s common stock and/or purchase shares of Macerich’s common stock or other securities of Macerich in secondary market transactions concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Macerich’s common stock or the notes at that time. In addition, Macerich Partnership expects that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Macerich’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling Macerich’s common stock or other securities of Macerich or Macerich Partnership in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so following any repurchase of notes by Macerich Partnership on a fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or exchange of the notes and during the 40 VWAP trading day period beginning on the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the notes, or, to the extent Macerich Partnership exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any other repurchase of the notes). This activity could also cause, reduce the extent of or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Macerich’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders to exchange the notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to an exchange of notes, it could affect the number of shares of Macerich’s common stock, if any, and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon exchange of the notes.

Macerich Partnership estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of the notes will be approximately $659.1 million, (or approximately $757.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full) after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Macerich Partnership intends to use approximately $39.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (or approximately $45.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), and the remainder of the net proceeds to refinance existing secured debt and for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Macerich Partnership expects to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties. Pending such use, Macerich Partnership may invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing deposit accounts.

The offer and sale of the notes, the related guarantee and any shares of Macerich’s common stock deliverable upon exchange of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes, such guarantee and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.

Although Macerich Partnership and Macerich intend to enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Macerich will agree to file a resale registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of shares of Macerich’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of the notes, the registration rights agreement will contain significant limitations, and a resale registration statement may not be available at the time investors wish to resell the shares of Macerich’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of their notes. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of Macerich’s common stock deliverable upon exchange of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares of Macerich’s common stock, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.

Macerich NYSE: MAC reported second-quarter funds from operations, as adjusted, of $0.35 per diluted share and said its go-forward portfolio net operating income increased 3.8% from a year earlier, as the mall operator continued to execute its “Path Forward” plan centered on leasing, portfolio simplification and debt reduction.

Get Macerich alerts:

President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Hsieh said the company is ahead of schedule on its strategic leasing program and is shifting more attention toward converting signed leases into operating stores. Macerich’s signed-not-open, or SNO, pipeline reached $124 million during the quarter, and the company said it has confidence in a total SNO opportunity of about $140 million.

“The plan is substantially de-risked,” Hsieh said, pointing to leasing progress, asset dispositions and balance-sheet initiatives. He said the company expects NOI growth to accelerate in 2027 and 2028 as tenants in the SNO pipeline open and begin paying rent.

Leasing, Occupancy and Tenant Openings Portfolio sales reached $919 per square foot at the end of the second quarter, a company high, while sales across the go-forward portfolio were $954 per square foot. Portfolio leased occupancy was 94%, up 60 basis points from the first quarter. Leased occupancy in the go-forward portfolio was 95.5%, also up 60 basis points sequentially and 270 basis points from a year earlier.

Doug Healey, senior executive vice president of leasing, said Macerich has commitments for about 93% of its 2026 expiring square footage to renew and remain open, with another 6% in the letter-of-intent stage. For 2027 expirations, the company is about 50% committed, with another 40% in letters of intent, he said.

The company opened nearly 350,000 square feet of new stores during the quarter, including a new and expanded 45,000-square-foot Zara store at Tysons Corner Center. Healey said the Zara location ranked first in U.S. sales and fifth globally during its opening weekend, and has remained first in its region and among the top 10 nationally.

Macerich signed 1.3 million square feet of new and renewal leases during the second quarter, including 645,000 square feet of new deals. Brands signing leases included Aerie, Old Navy, Eataly, Din Tai Fung, Zara, Sephora, Level99, Golf Galaxy, Alo Yoga, On Running, Vuori, Reformation and Cider, according to Healey.

The company’s five-year leasing plan calls for 1,000 new deals. Healey said 170 leases remain to achieve that target, with roughly two-thirds of the remaining leases in the letter-of-intent stage. Macerich’s leasing “speedometer,” which tracks new-deal completion under the plan, stood at 88%, above its 85% midyear target.

NOI Outlook and Transformation Efforts Chief Financial Officer Dan Swanstrom said go-forward portfolio NOI, excluding lease termination income, rose 2.5% for the first six months of 2026. The company reaffirmed its expectation for full-year go-forward NOI growth of at least 3%.

Based on the first-half results, Swanstrom said the guidance implies at least 3.5% NOI growth in the second half, potentially with a stronger fourth quarter as SNO contributions increase. Macerich expects SNO tenants to contribute about $30 million in 2026, with the contribution weighted toward the latter part of the year; $40 million to $45 million in 2027; and $45 million to $50 million in 2028.

The company’s Path Forward 3.0 plan targets a three-year NOI compound annual growth rate midpoint of 6.5% from 2026 through 2028. Swanstrom said that, assuming 3% growth in 2026, the plan implies NOI growth of more than 8% in both 2027 and 2028.

Hsieh said centers in later stages of Macerich’s transformation strategy have recorded stronger traffic, sales and NOI trends than the broader go-forward portfolio. He cited Fairfield Commons, Broadway Plaza, Scottsdale Fashion Square and Tysons Corner as examples, saying the four properties posted low-teens traffic gains and high-single-digit NOI growth year to date.

At Tysons Corner, Macerich is adding Eataly, Din Tai Fung and Cider to the historically weaker west wing. Hsieh said traffic at Tysons was up 10% through the first six months of the year as the company continued upgrading the tenant mix.

Acquisitions and Balance Sheet Macerich said it sees acquisitions as an increasingly important growth avenue and is evaluating a broad set of on- and off-market opportunities. Hsieh said the company’s pipeline is the largest it has had since beginning the Path Forward plan, with roughly half of the opportunities on market and half directly involving sellers.

The company said it remains focused on assets in strong trade areas where it can use its leasing and operating platform to create value, while financing transactions within its leverage targets. Hsieh said the company is underwriting potential acquisitions at stabilized yields in the 9% to 11% range.

Macerich highlighted progress at Annapolis Mall and Crabtree, two recent acquisitions. At Annapolis, Uniqlo has opened and Dick’s House of Sport is scheduled to open Aug. 14. At Crabtree, Macerich said it has commitments for 45 new and expansion leases and 35 renewal leases since the acquisition. Dick’s House of Sport is expected to open there in September.

In June, Macerich priced a common-stock offering at $23.90 per share through forward sale agreements. The company said it expects future net proceeds of about $372 million to fund acquisitions. Hsieh said the company expects to deploy the capital before the forward settlement deadline in June 2027.

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA stood at 7.3 times at the end of the second quarter, down nearly half a turn from the prior quarter and more than 1.5 turns from the start of the Path Forward plan. Swanstrom said the ratio falls below seven times when including unsettled forward equity proceeds. Macerich’s stated leverage target is in the range of six times, plus or minus.

The company has completed about $1.3 billion of dispositions, representing roughly two-thirds of its original target. It expects to sell or give back another $300 million to $400 million of assets, outparcels and land by year-end, which would bring total dispositions to approximately $1.7 billion. Macerich reported about $1.2 billion in liquidity, including $900 million of revolving-credit capacity, excluding the value of unsettled forward equity proceeds.

Key Takeaways MAC's Path Forward pairs leasing, anchor replacements, redevelopment and capital recycling.MAC expects new store leases to add about $116M in gross revenue and support NOI growth through 2028.MAC faces risks from tenant bankruptcies, e-commerce pressure and 7.76X net debt to EBITDA. The Macerich Company (MAC - Free Report) is leaning on premium mall quality to support steadier earnings growth. Its Path Forward plan combines leasing, anchor replacements, redevelopment, acquisitions and capital recycling.

The key question is whether those gains can keep offsetting tenant churn, e-commerce pressure, rent timing and elevated leverage.

MAC Builds on Premium Mall StrengthMacerich owns high-quality retail centers in dense U.S. markets, with a notable presence in California, the Pacific Northwest, Phoenix/Scottsdale and the Metro New York-to-Washington, D.C. corridor. Roughly 90% of its go-forward net operating income comes from Class A properties.

The operating base remains healthy. As of March 31, 2026, portfolio leased occupancy was 93.4%, while Go-Forward Portfolio Center leased occupancy was 94.5%. Tenant sales for spaces below 10,000 square feet reached $899 per square foot, with go-forward portfolio sales at $941.

Peers reinforce the broader retail real estate context. Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) owns premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, making it a key comparison for Class A mall demand. Tanger Inc. (SKT - Free Report) , focused on outlet and open-air retail centers, provides a different read on tenant appetite across value-oriented retail formats.

MAC Leasing Pipeline Drives Future NOIFor Macerich, the signed-not-open pipeline is central to the earnings bridge. New store leases are expected to produce roughly $116 million of incremental gross revenues at the company’s share compared with 2024 revenues from prior uses in those same spaces.

Management expects about 80% of that revenues to flow through to net operating income over time. The pipeline is more than a near-term leasing statistic; it is intended to support net operating income growth through 2028 as tenants open and begin paying rent.

Anchor replacement is another part of the same bridge. Macerich’s Path Forward plan targeted 30 anchor and big-box replacements, and all 30 are now committed. These locations total 2.9 million square feet and are expected to generate approximately $750 million in annual tenant sales.

MAC Uses Capital to Reset the PortfolioCapital recycling remains a major part of the portfolio reset. Under Path Forward, Macerich targets roughly $2 billion of total dispositions, with about $1.3 billion completed and another $300 million to $400 million expected by the end of 2026.

Outparcel and land sales are also contributing capital. The company completed $14.5 million of such sales in the first quarter of 2026, including a land parcel at Washington Square for $13 million.

The Annapolis Mall acquisition adds another Class A asset. Macerich acquired the mall for $260 million, plus $12 million for the adjacent 13.1-acre vacant Sears parcel, aiming to extend its platform in a strong East Coast trade area.

Key Risks Continue to Limit MAC’s UpsideThe upside case still carries execution risk. Tenant bankruptcies involving Express, Forever 21 and Claire’s are expected to continue to affect 2026 results, and future filings could disrupt occupancy, rent commencement and tenant allowance needs.

E-commerce remains a structural threat, even for better malls. Macerich’s focus on restaurants, experiential uses and higher-traffic anchors may help protect destination value, but some retail categories remain vulnerable to online migration.

Balance sheet risk also matters. Net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was 7.76X as of March 31, 2026. Property-level loan issues add uncertainty, including the Twenty Ninth Street loan, which was in default as of Feb. 6, 2026.

How MAC Signals Fit a Neutral SetupMacerich’s setup looks balanced. The portfolio quality, leasing pipeline and committed anchor replacements support a credible path to better net operating income, but the timing of rent conversion and leverage improvement still needs proof.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). This suggests a neutral near-term stance rather than a clear positive or negative signal. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Style Scores add caution. MAC has a VGM Score of D, with a Value Score of C, Growth Score of D and Momentum Score of D. Since stronger Style Scores generally point to better expected performance characteristics, these grades reinforce why investors may want clearer evidence of durable per-share growth before taking a more constructive view.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) (the “Company” or “Macerich”) announced today that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 14,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to public of $23.90 per share, all of which are being offered in connection with the forward sale agreements described below.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as the lead bookrunner and representative of the underwriters of the offering. Deutsche Bank Securities, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, BMO Capital Markets, TD Securities and Scotiabank are also serving as joint bookrunning managers for the offering.

The Company is entering into forward sale agreements with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and Morgan Stanley or their affiliates (the "forward purchasers"), with respect to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers or their affiliates are expected to borrow and sell an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of the common stock 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 June 16, 2027 an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of its common stock to the forward purchasers or their affiliates in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price at the time of such settlement, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreements.

The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock. If the underwriters exercise such option, the Company expects to enter into additional forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers in respect of the number of shares sold by the forward purchasers or their respective affiliates in connection with the exercise of such option.

The offering is expected to close on June 17, 2026 subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock 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 to fund future acquisition opportunities and for general corporate purposes. Pending such use, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing deposit accounts.

Selling common stock through the forward sale agreements enables the Company to set the price of such shares upon the pricing of the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company until a time closer to the funding requirements described above.

Key Takeaways MAC gained 57.4% in 12 months, backed by leasing progress and 94.5% go-forward occupancy.MAC trades at 16.39X forward FFO; a $27 target implies limited upside after the rally.MAC beat Q1 FFO estimates, but leverage remains high and dividend growth appears constrained. The Macerich Company (MAC - Free Report) has rewarded investors with a sharp rally, but the buying case is no longer straightforward. The stock’s operating story has improved, while valuation and leverage leave less room for error.

For investors, MAC looks more like a selective hold than a clear bargain after its run. The question is whether future net operating income growth can justify further upside.

MAC Shows Strong Momentum but a Neutral CaseMAC shares are up 57.4% over the trailing 12-month period, outpacing the Zacks sub-industry’s 21.1% gain and the Zacks Finance sector’s 14.7% rise. That performance reflects better investor confidence in high-quality malls.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The optimism is supported by leasing progress. Roughly 90% of go-forward net operating income comes from Class A properties, while go-forward portfolio occupancy was 94.5% as of March 31, 2026.

Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) is a relevant peer because it owns premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations. Tanger Inc. (SKT - Free Report) also provides useful retail real estate context as an owner and operator of outlet and open-air shopping destinations.

MAC Valuation Looks Fair, Not CheapMAC trades at 16.39X forward 12-month funds from operations. That is below the Zacks sub-industry’s 17.16X and the S&P 500’s 21.41X, but slightly above the Zacks sector’s 16.18X.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The $27 price target, based on a 17.39X target multiple, points to limited incremental upside rather than a deep-value setup. MAC is not obviously expensive, but the rally has already priced in part of the recovery.

MAC Earnings Support Is Improving SlowlyFirst-quarter 2026 funds from operations, as adjusted, came in at 34 cents per share, matching the year-ago quarter and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.68%. Revenues of $241.54 million declined 3.1% year over year but topped the consensus mark by 1.2%.

Estimate trends have improved only modestly. The current-year funds from operations estimate moved 1.2% higher over the past four weeks.

Management also lifted its 2028 target funds from operations range to $1.80-$2.00 per share. Still, annual estimates of $1.46 for 2026 and $1.56 for 2027 suggest measured progress rather than rapid earnings acceleration.

MAC Still Carries Leverage and Dividend LimitsLeverage remains the main counterweight. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 7.76X as of March 31, 2026, while pro forma leverage was about 7.26X after the Annapolis Mall acquisition and follow-on equity issuance.

Property-level issues also matter. The $76.5 million pro rata loan at Twenty Ninth Street was in default as of Feb. 6, 2026, with the joint venture still negotiating terms with the lender.

The dividend is another restraint. MAC paid 17 cents per share in the first quarter and announced another 17-cent quarterly dividend payable in June 2026, leaving limited near-term dividend growth while redevelopment and balance-sheet repair remain priorities.

What MAC’s Ratings Say About TimingMAC’s operating recovery is real, but the stock looks closer to fairly valued than mispriced. Investors buying now are paying for continued leasing execution, higher occupancy and net operating income gains through 2028.

MAC currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). That rank supports a wait-and-see approach rather than an aggressive buying stance. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Style Scores point in the same direction. MAC has a Value Score of C, Growth Score of D, Momentum Score of D and VGM Score of D. The Value Score suggests valuation is not a major red flag, but the weak Growth, Momentum and VGM scores favor selectivity for investors seeking stronger near-term ranking support.

Key Takeaways MAC shares rose 16.4% in six months, beating industry growth, backed by strong leasing and NOI gains.MAC benefits from 94% occupancy, positive leasing spreads and $1.3B in asset sales funding redevelopment.MAC's Path Forward plan advances with 30 anchor replacements and a $900M credit facility, boosting liquidity. Shares of Macerich (MAC - Free Report) have gained 16.4% over the past six months, outperforming the industry's 12% growth.

This retail real estate investment trust (REIT) owns a portfolio of high-quality shopping centers in densely populated U.S. markets, supported by stable occupancy at the end of 2025 and positive leasing spreads. Tenant sales trends and growth in the Go-Forward Portfolio NOI indicate steady internal momentum.

Capital recycling remains a key pillar of Macerich’s Path Forward plan, with asset sales funding redevelopment and enhancing liquidity. Its anchor re-tenanting efforts are progressing, aimed at boosting traffic and in-line leasing, while an increased focus on omnichannel retailing supports long-term growth prospects.

Factors Behind MAC Price Surge: Will the Momentum Last?Macerich owns a concentrated portfolio of top-tier malls in major U.S. markets, primarily located in densely populated, high-income areas that support steady tenant demand and resilient cash flows. Leasing trends remained firm through 2025, with occupancy at 94% and positive spreads on both new and renewal leases. In 2026, management is focused on executing its lease pipeline, proactively managing expirations and accelerating rent commencements through faster buildouts and improved collections.

Macerich is actively recycling capital by divesting non-core assets and reinvesting in higher-growth properties while reducing leverage. It has completed $1.3 billion of its $2 billion disposition target. At the same time, the company is advancing anchor repositioning and mixed-use redevelopment.

Management targeted 30 anchor and big box replacements in its Path Forward plan, and all 30 are now committed. These anchors total 2.9 million square feet and are expected to generate approximately $750 million in annual tenant sales, with the potential to support in-line leasing through higher traffic and dwell time. Projects at Scottsdale Fashion Square, Green Acres Mall and FlatIron Crossing highlight its ongoing redevelopment pipeline.

Macerich continues to execute its Path Forward plan, improving operations and strengthening its balance sheet. Same-center NOI rose 1.8% in 2025, while tenant sales productivity improved. The company also enhanced liquidity by closing a $900 million revolving credit facility, increasing financial flexibility to support ongoing redevelopment and capital initiatives.

With the above-mentioned factors, the rising trend in the stock price for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is expected to continue in the near term. However, tenant bankruptcies, online shopping shift, modest dividend growth and high leverage remain concerns for Macerich.

Stocks to ConsiderSome better-ranked stocks from the broader REIT sector are Kimco Realty Corporation (KIM - Free Report) and Federal Realty (FRT - Free Report) , each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Kimco’s 2026 FFO per share is pinned at $1.82. This calls for year-over-year growth of 3.41%. Kimco currently has a Value Score of C.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Federal Realty’s 2026 FFO per share is pegged at $7.45. This implies year-over-year growth of 3.19%. Federal Realty has a Momentum Score of B.

Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents FFO, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) (the “Company” or “Macerich”), a leading owner, operator and developer of major retail properties in top markets, today announced it has acquired Annapolis Mall, a Class A retail center totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet (1.2 million square feet owned) in Annapolis, MD for $260 million, plus the adjacent 13.1-acre vacant Sears parcel for $12 million.

“Annapolis is exactly the kind of acquisition we said we would pursue,” said Jackson Hsieh, President and Chief Executive Officer, Macerich. “It’s located within a strong trade area with limited competition, the property is undergoing a significant elevation and transformation of its merchandising plan and tenant mix, including a new Dick’s House of Sport store opening in the Fall, and there is a clear path to durable NOI growth that is accretive to our 2028 target FFO ranges under the Path Forward Plan. This off market transaction was completed with the prior ownership group who did an excellent job over the past two years starting a significant elevation and transformation of the center’s merchandising plan and tenant mix. We believe applying the resources of Macerich will replicate the success we’ve experienced at Crabtree and across our Go-Forward portfolio.”

Macerich expects a yield on the Annapolis Mall acquisition of approximately 9.2% based on estimated Year 1 net operating income (“NOI”) of approximately $24 million and a yield of approximately 10.5% based on an estimated Year 1 NOI of approximately $29 million, which includes annualized signed-not-open leases (“SNO”). The SNO leases represent 353,000 square feet expected to commence in 2026 and 2027. The stabilized pro forma yield is expected to increase to approximately 11.0% by 2030. Following the acquisition, the Company plans to implement a strategic investment plan at the property that includes investing approximately $40 million of leasing capital in addition to significant capital invested over the past two years by the prior owner to begin the transformation and repositioning of the center. 

The SNO pipeline includes Dick’s House of Sport, which will open a 116,000-square-foot store in August 2026, as well as Dave & Busters, Tesla, Uniqlo, lululemon (expansion), OFFLINE by Aerie, Aeropostale, Abercombie & Fitch, Pop Mart, Jack & Jones and others. Several new inline tenants including Urban Planet, DTLR, Talbots, upgraded Hollister, and others have already opened at the center in the first quarter of 2026.

The acquisition excludes the Macy’s anchor, which is not owned, and a vacant JCPenney anchor store that is being actively retenanted. The adjacent 13.1-acre vacant Sears parcel, acquired separately for $12 million, sits on the most heavily trafficked corner of the property and provides optionality for future retail, mixed-use or alternative development.

Macerich has funded the acquisition with cash on hand, which includes approximately $85 million of proceeds through the Company’s ATM program, and $150 million of borrowings on its revolving line of credit. The financing of the acquisition is expected to keep the Company within its previously stated de-leveraging targets under the Path Forward Plan.

Hsieh added, “This property complements Tysons Corner and gives us control of the dominant retail position east of Washington, D.C. There is strong initial leasing momentum underway with 353,000 square feet of committed tenants opening in 2026 to 2027. Deploying our leasing, management and marketing platforms will drive total occupancy toward 93%-plus, and we expect to capture significant NOI growth upside as well as lift sales productivity to over $800 per square foot.”

The Annapolis market benefits from its proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, a strong military and government employment base anchored by the United States Naval Academy, Fort Meade and the National Security Agency, and a highly educated and affluent consumer demographic. Anne Arundel County has a median household income above the national average and a population that has grown steadily over the past decade. Annapolis Mall’s trade area is well-insulated, with limited new retail supply and no competing enclosed regional mall of comparable scale.

About Annapolis Mall

Annapolis Mall is a dominant enclosed regional mall serving the greater Annapolis and Anne Arundel County market. The center totals approximately 1.5 million square feet and features Macy’s, AMC Theatres, Zara, Apple, The Cheesecake Factory, Urban Outfitters, Foot Locker, Hollister, American Eagle, Lululemon, Crate & Barrel and Maggiano’s, among many others.

Macerich (MAC - Free Report) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.34 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.31 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.33 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +11.22%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this shopping center real estate investment trust would post FFO of $0.43 per share when it actually produced FFO of $0.48, delivering a surprise of +11.63%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus FFO estimates two times.

Macerich, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry, posted revenues of $241.54 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.20%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $249.22 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Macerich shares have added about 16.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%.

What's Next for Macerich?While Macerich has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Macerich was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) (the “Company” or “Macerich”) announced today that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 19,200,000 shares of common stock at a price to public of $21.00 per share for expected gross proceeds of approximately $403.2 million. The Company has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,880,000 additional shares of its common stock. This reflects an upsizing of the previously announced offering of 16,000,000 shares of common stock. Subject to customary closing conditions, the offering is expected to close on May 13, 2026.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which were used primarily to fund the acquisition of Annapolis Mall, and for general corporate purposes, including to acquire additional properties and to fund strategic leasing capital investments at Annapolis Mall. Pending such use, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing deposit accounts.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as the lead bookrunner and representative of the underwriters of the offering. Deutsche Bank Securities, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, BMO Capital Markets, TD Securities and Scotiabank are also serving as joint bookrunning managers for the offering. Copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to these securities may be obtained, when available, by contacting: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282, telephone: 1-866-471-2526, facsimile: 212-902-9316 or by email at [email protected].

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any such offer or sale will be made only by means of the prospectus supplement and prospectus forming part of the effective registration statement relating to these securities.
