Tanger Factory Outlets (SKT) – Mall REIT Share Prices Continue to Fall

Tanger Factory Outlets

Retail REITs on the decline as more retailers close their doors.

According to reports, the news on the Toys “R” Us bankruptcy this week has sent the share price of mall REITs, such as Tanger Factory Outlets (SKT), spiraling downward.

Tanger Factory Outlets (NYSE:SKT), is a publicly-traded REIT headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina that presently operates and owns, or has an ownership interest in, a portfolio of 44 upscale outlet shopping centers, according to its website.

According to Business Insider, “At $21.49, shares are down 34% from a year ago and 48% from the end of July 2016.”

Weakening tenant sales could harm investors in the years to come, according to analysts.

In addition, with shares down, the company will likely need to preserve capital. Unfortunately, it appears likely that investors will see dividend cuts in the future.

With the decline of malls and shopping centers and the increase in online shopping, the future for Retail REITs, such as Tanger Factory Outlets, is not bright.
