The Macerich Company (MAC)
Macerich: Old Retail Is Fading
Macerich is a REIT focused on malls and shopping centers, currently yielding 3.8%, with no clear growth story. Management aims to reduce debt by $2B through asset sales, but this likely means revenue and cash flows will decline in the near term. E-commerce growth and the shift from brick-and-mortar retail present significant challenges, making MAC's turnaround and profitable growth uncertain.

MAC reported FFO numbers for its second quarter that dipped 1 cent per share year-over-year. The dividend is 230% covered by FFO but still sits almost 80% below its pre-pandemic level.

Macerich: Solid Progress, But Leverage Remains A Concern
Macerich Company delivered solid Q2, 2024 quarter, especially when it comes to the deleveraging front. The asset disposals so far (including those which are under negotiations) explain already 50% of the $2 billion debt recution target. The business performance was relatively solid, where the FFO per share dropped only by $0.01, which could be viewed positively given the multiple pressures.
