Federal Realty Investment Trust offers a compelling investment opportunity with robust leasing activity and consistent FFO/share growth, and trading significantly below its historical P/FFO valuation. FRT's strong balance sheet, high occupancy levels, and strategic redevelopment projects support its 57-year streak of dividend increases, making it a reliable Dividend King. Management projects a 5.8% FFO/share growth for 2025, driven by same-store NOI growth, strong leasing trends, and new development projects.

Federal Realty Investment Trust excels in the REIT sector, owning high-quality retail and mixed-use properties with a 96.2% lease rate and 94.1% occupancy. FRT's financials are strong, with a $7.75 billion property value, 8.9% asset yield, and 6.4% FFO yield, but the preferred stock lacks Alpha. FRT's bonds, rated BAA1 by Moody's, offer yields from 4.7% to 5.9%, but still lack Alpha compared to higher-rated bonds.
