Among the 21 analysts tracking SPG, the consensus rating stands at Moderate Buy, based on seven Strong Buy and 14 Hold ratings. This consensus has become more cautious over the past months, with the number of Strong Buy ratings decreasing from nine to seven. Barclays analyst Richard Hightower maintains a Hold rating on SPG and sets a price target of $215.\n\nDespite the slight decline in SPG stock following the release of its Q2 2026 earnings report, the company's revenue of $1.8 billion exceeded Wall Street's estimates. Adjusted Funds From Operations (FFO) for the quarter also outpaced expectations, amounting to $3.29 per share. For the current year, which concludes in December, analysts anticipate SPG's FFO to grow 3.7% year-over-year to $13.20 on a diluted basis, surpassing the consensus estimate. The stock's mean price target of $233.70 indicates a 5.9% upside from its current market price, while its Street-high target of $285 presents a substantial 29.2% upside potential.",
