Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

    Tanger Factory Outlet Centers' (NYSE:SKT) shares are trading near 10-year lows. The real estate investment trust's (REIT) yield of 6.8% hasn't been this high since the 2007-2009 recession. Is this a buying opportunity for a company with a 25-year history of annual dividend increases, or is the so-called "retail apocalypse" claiming another victim?

  • [By Jeremy Bowman]

    Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (NYSE:SKT), one of the biggest outlet center operators in North America, has seen its stock fall 34% over the last three years amid concerns about rising vacancy rates and broader pressures in the industry. Even if brick-and-mortar retail proves to be more durable than some think, there's still the risk that Tanger will struggle to pass along rent hikes as landlords generally like to do.
