Shares of the Jericho, New York-based company have declined 19.6% from its 52-week high of $25.06. Over the past three months, its shares have fallen nearly 10%, underperforming the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLRE) 3.8% dip during the same period.

Despite posting better-than-expected Q3 2025 FFO of $0.44 per share and revenue of $535.9 million, Kimco’s shares fell 1.9% on Oct. 30. The quarter reflected higher costs, including a $13.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization and an $8.0 million rise in interest expense, which partially offset revenue and operating gains.
