Kimco Realty’s (KIM) Occupancy Record Comes With A Bigger Dividend

Kimco Realty (KIM) reported Q2 occupancy at 96.4%, a record, and raised its dividend by 12% to $0.28 per share. It also increased its full-year outlook for FFO and net income. The company signed leases at a 40.4% cash rent spread and sold properties to fund new acquisitions, closing the quarter with $2.7B in liquidity. However, net income per share declined due to higher interest expenses and lower gains on property sales.
