Kite Realty reports Q3 2026 results, raises 2026 FFO guidance and receives BBB+ rating upgrade
Kite Realty Group Trust posted third‑quarter 2026 Core FFO of $0.52 per share and Same‑Property NOI growth of 3.6%. The REIT announced over 1.2 million square feet of new leasing, sold non‑core assets for more than $1 billion and repurchased about 22 million shares. It raised its 2026 core FFO outlook to $2.08‑$2.12 per share and upgraded its Same‑Property NOI growth range to 3.4%‑3.9%, while Fitch upgraded its credit rating to BBB+.
Why it matters
The higher FFO guidance expands the REIT’s earnings outlook for 2026, which may support the share price and dividend sustainability (the company declared a $0.29 quarterly dividend). The BBB+ rating upgrade could lower borrowing costs and improve access to capital.
