Narratives are currently in beta

  • Smartcenters has a diversified portfolio of clients that are pretty recession proof and immune to standard retail challenges
  • Occupancy rate is higher than industry standards while also being able to charge more due to their quality locations
  • Top-tier management that is financially conservative allows them to keep their incredibly high dividend in times of economic downturn while competitors were forced to lower dividends
  • The company's financial position is solid and the giant dividend they are paying is still maintained by cash flows
  • Expanding into mixed use facilities and self-storage will create a more diversified and secured revenue base
  • Decrease in interest rates will lower costs and improve margins giving the company a better cash position to decrease debt or encourage growth
