AI Summary

StalkMedium

KRG remains in a Stage 2 advancing regime with intact medium- and long-term uptrends supported by HH/HL structure and a recent Momentum Breakout. However, price is extended above rising EMAs and in extreme overbought territory, indicating unfavorable short-term execution timing. Our Stable strategy favors patience and controlled engagement; we will defer entries and await a pullback into the rising 9/21 EMA support zone near the prior breakout level for optimal entry.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • if we bring in a Trader Joe's, we bring in a Whole Foods, there's tremendous impact. And it's just that continual shop that occurs through the day. And both of those are tremendous drivers for us.
  • we think by the end of this year, we should be at occupancy levels that are approximating our historical highs, you know, right before COVID. But the good news is that we don't think that that's the ceiling at all.
  • we intend to as well.

Bear points

  • On page five, you'll see that the same-store did boost us up, half a penny on a full year basis, but then that was offset by a corresponding reduction in a recurring but unpredictable item.
  • the outperformance was ratable between three things, was the bad debt overage and also that real estate tax reversal.
