Regency Centers

Regency Centers, based in Jacksonville, Florida, is a REIT that owns shopping centers primarily anchored by market-leading grocery stores, and says it is among the largest owners of U.S. shopping centers by revenue, properties, GLA and market capitalization. At end-2025 it held full or partial interests in 481 properties with about 58.4 million square feet of gross leasable area. Revenue grew from $1,016 million (2020) to $1,554 million (2025) and net income to $527 million. No single tenant reaches 10% of revenue; the largest are Publix, TJX and Albertsons (each under 3% of base rent). Development and redevelopment spending rose to $435 million in 2025.

  • ▲

    Revenue grew +8.9% a year over 5 years (strong growth)

    From $1.02B in FY2020 to $1.55B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.

  • ▲

    Equity ratio is 53.1% (a high level of financial stability)

    The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).

  • ▲

    Free cash flow was positive in 6 of 6 years

    Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.

  • ―

    ROE averaged 5.6% over 6 years (latest: 7.7%)

    How much profit was generated on shareholders’ equity. Roughly 10%+ is often cited as solid for a U.S. company, though this varies a lot by industry and capital intensity.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data

ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.

ROIC (FY2025)

9.6%

formulaoperating income × (1 − tax rate) ÷ invested capital × 100 *invested capital = interest-bearing debt + total equity (average of beginning/ending)

e.g.$1,123M × (1 − 0.5%) ÷ $11,615M × 100 = 9.6%

termsOperating income · Effective tax rate · Invested capital · Interest-bearing debt · Total equity

WACC (this site’s estimate)

6.90%

formulacost of equity × equity weight + cost of debt × (1 − tax rate) × debt weight

e.g.Equity weight: $12.63B ÷ ($12.63B + $4.74B) = 72.7%

e.g.Debt weight: $4.74B ÷ ($12.63B + $4.74B) = 27.3%

e.g.WACC: 7.6% × 72.7% + 5.0% × (1 − 0.5%) × 27.3% = 6.90%

termsCost of equity · Equity weight (E/(D+E)) · Cost of debt · (1 − tax rate) · Debt weight (D/(D+E)) · Market capitalization

What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data

A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.

Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)

4.8%

Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 6.9% − 2.1%

Past FCF growth (FY2020–FY2025)

+4.3%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Past revenue growth (FY2020–FY2025)

+8.9%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $393M (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $18.48B = market cap $13.86B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $4.74B − cash and short-term investments $121M; r = WACC of 6.9% using this page’s default assumptions (β 0.49, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).

Three WACC scenarios

The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.

Try your own assumptions

V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.

Theoretical enterprise value

$18.69B

FCF $393M ÷ (6.9% − 4.8%)

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value

1.01x

Above 1x: these assumptions value the business above the market did

How sensitive the answer is

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.

g \ r4.9%5.9%6.9%7.9%8.9%
0%0.43x0.36x0.31x0.27x0.24x

4%2.36x1.12x0.73x0.54x0.43x
6%——2.36x1.12x0.73x
8%————2.36x

A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

Who holds the sharesFrom SEC dataShow

How much of the stock large institutional investors report owning on SEC Form 13F, how much the directors and executive officers hold (and how much of the vote they control), and roughly how much is left for individual investors. Shown next to beta so the holder mix can be read alongside how much the stock swings.

Institutions, insiders and everyone else, 13F holdings as of 2026-06-30

“Everyone else” is what remains after shares reported on Form 13F and shares held by directors and executive officers: mostly individual investors, plus non-insider families or foundations and smaller or foreign institutions. The figures have different dates and 13F reports count some shares twice — read it as an approximate split.

  • The 13F total exceeds shares outstanding because some shares are reported twice — for example shares lent to short sellers and then bought by another manager, or holdings that overlapping managers both report.
  • Directors and executive officers as a group, from the proxy statement’s beneficial-ownership table; includes shares they can acquire within 60 days.
  • A large “everyone else” share can still reflect a family, trust or foundation stake held outside the board; check the proxy statement’s 5% holders.

"Company disclosure" vs. "this site’s assessment"

The description and mitigation for each risk are this site’s summary of the 10-K’s "Risk Factors" section. Impact and likelihood are this site’s own assessment, not the company’s — where the company discloses its own likelihood assessment, that is noted in the summary.

Impact is judged from how large the affected business is relative to total revenue/profit, and from the risk’s track record of moving results in the past. Likelihood is judged from the filing’s wording and the current business environment (already occurring, or recurring). See the rating criteria.

What changed in the risk factorsFrom SEC data

Paragraphs in the latest 10-K's Risk Factors that have little overlap with the year before, and paragraphs that were dropped.

New or substantially reworded (5)

  • Macroeconomic, political, and geopolitical conditions and governmental policies may adversely impact consumer confidence and spending and the businesses of our tenants and could, in turn, adversely impact our business.

  • Our business, and the businesses of our tenants, are significantly influenced by overall economic conditions and consumer spending in the United States. Read more

    A variety of macroeconomic, political, and geopolitical factors, driven in some cases by governmental policy decisions, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect the operating environment for retailers and service providers, including increasing the potential for a recession. These factors include federal budgetary and spending policies, actions taken by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "U.S. Federal Reserve"), inflationary pressures, changes in interest rates, energy price changes, labor availability and shortages (including those influenced by governmental immigration policies), supply chain disruptions, tightening credit markets, decreases in consumer confidence and discretionary spending,…

  • The U.S. Federal Reserve has changed its benchmark federal funds rate at different times since 2021. Read more

    Currently, the federal funds rate remains elevated as compared with the 2010-2020 period. The federal funds rate has historically been adjusted by the U.S. Federal Reserve to address its perception of economic conditions, including inflation and the jobs market.

  • Despite the above risks and challenges associated with the use of AI, in the retail industry AI is increasingly being adopted for personalized marketing, inventory management, customer service, pricing optimization, and supply chain management. The costs of implementing new technologies, including AI-driven property management tools, smart building systems, and data analytics platforms, may be substantial.The effectiveness of these tools are being evaluated in an ongoing mannter.

  • Advanced analytics and AI may enable retailers to optimize their store footprints, potentially leading to reduced space requirements and location closures. Read more

    Moreover, generative AI and virtual shopping experiences may further shift consumer behavior away from physical stores. AI-powered tools may enable more efficient e-commerce operations, potentially impacting some of the competitive advantages of physical retail locations. Because the use and regulation of AI technologies continue to evolve, additional risks may emerge over time.

  • The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("the U.S. Read more

    Federal Reserve") rapidly increased its benchmark interest rate from 2021 through 2023 in response to sustained elevated inflation, which has since moderated. Higher interest rates may negatively impact consumer spending, our tenants' businesses, and/or future demand for space in our shopping centers.

  • Additionally, high interest rates adversely impact our cost of borrowing. Read more

    Our exposure to high interest rates in the short term includes our variable-rate debt, which consist of borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit and variable rate-based secured notes

  • Although the extent of any prolonged periods of high interest rates remains unknown at this time, negative impacts to our cost of capital may also adversely affect our future business plans and growth, at least in the near term.

  • Economic challenges and policy changes may adversely impact our tenants and our business.
