Why Kimco Realty Stock Popped 10% at the Open Today
Shares of real estate investment trust (REIT) Kimco Realty (NYSE: KIM) quickly jumped 10% in the first half hour of trading on April 28. Although there was no specific news related to the shopping center REIT, the move by several states to allow non-essential businesses to open again has been viewed very positively by investors. Roughly 75% of the rentable square feet in Kimco's centers is leased out to large tenants that are, for the most part, essential businesses (think grocery stores and the like).
