Federal Realty price target lowered to $103 from $118 at UBS

UBS analyst Michael Goldsmith lowered the firm’s price target on Federal Realty (FRT) to $103 from $118 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Federal Realty has one of the highest quality retail REIT portfolios, with prime mixed-use centers and leading demographics, but UBS tells investors in a research note that there has been greater emphasis on Federal Realty’s consensus forecasted 2026 FFO growth of 3.3%, below the peer average of 3.9%. It will likely take time for the market to appreciate changes in the company’s growth profile and sees a balanced risk/reward dynamic, the firm says.
