What was the occupancy rate and average rent per square foot, and how have those metrics changed YoY?
The Macerich Q2â2025 press release you referenced does not disclose the portfolioâwide occupancy rate or the average rent per square foot, nor does it provide yearâoverâyear (YoY) changes for those specific metrics. Those figures are typically included in the detailed earnings presentation or the accompanying supplemental data (e.g., the âPortfolio Metricsâ slide deck or the SEC filing). To obtain the exact occupancy and rentâperâsqâft numbers, youâll need to review the full earnings release on Macerichâs investorârelations site or the latest FormâŻ10âK/10âQ where the company reports its operating statistics.
From a trading perspective, the absence of disclosed occupancy and rent data in the headline release means the market has had to price the stock based largely on other fundamentalsâsuch as sameâstore net operating income (NOI) growth, tenant mix, and cashâflow generationârather than direct leaseâperformance indicators. If the upcoming supplemental materials reveal a stable or improving occupancy rate (e.g., â„95% versus 94% YoY) and modest rent growth (e.g., 2â3% YoY), that would reinforce the bullish narrative already reflected in the price action and could support a shortâterm upside bias on MAC. Conversely, any sign of declining occupancy or flat/negative rent growth would be a red flag, suggesting pressure on cash yields and potentially prompting a corrective pullâback. Until those metrics are confirmed, itâs prudent to monitor the supplemental release and any analyst commentary for the next 24â48âŻhours before adjusting positions.
