“I am extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results, concluding another successful and productive year for our Company,” said CEO David Simon. “In 2024, we generated record Funds From Operations of nearly $4.9 billion and returned more than $3 billion to shareholders.  We executed over 21 million square feet of leases, opened a fully-leased, new Premium Outlet in the U.S., delivered 16 significant redevelopment projects, including an expansion of a leading Premium Outlet in South Korea, and strengthened our industry-leading balance sheet.” 

Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find Simon Property stock attractive. However, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 4.67%.
