Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Some durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
34.2% average over the last 3 years
±5.6 pts around 35.9% across 10 years
grew in 6 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years
3.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what KIM's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. KIM trades near $24.67, above its 50-day average ($24.26) and 200-day average ($22.26). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 45 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. KIM's is $0.46 (~1.9% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month KIM found buyers near $23.72 (support) and sellers near $26.08 (resistance); its 52-week range is $19.76–$26.08. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.6× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

11.9%
Revenue moved from $1.17B in 2016 to $2.14B in 2025, a 6.9% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year was roughly flat (4.4%) year over year. Slower, mature growth is common for established businesses.

Kimco Realty keeps about 28.5% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 69.0% gross margin and 36.0% operating margin. Return on equity is 5.9% and return on invested capital about 3.0%. Margins this wide usually signal pricing power or a cost advantage.

Net Debt / EBITDA
9.8x
Debt / Equity
0.79x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 0.8x, and operating profit covers interest about 2.3x. That is a moderate, manageable debt load for most businesses. It carries roughly $7.72B of total debt against $168.44M of cash.
Operating CF
$1.12B
Free Cash Flow
$1.10B
FCF Margin
51.5%
In the latest year Kimco Realty produced about $1.12B of operating cash flow and $1.10B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 5.7% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.
Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.
Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

KIM trades at 27.0x trailing earnings (about 24.3x on estimated forward earnings), 7.9x sales, and 1.3x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 2.4% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a premium multiple that needs growth to justify it.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for KIM:
- High net margins (28.5%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~5.7%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Pays a 4.1% dividend on top of any price gains.
The case against KIM:
- Interest coverage is thin (2.3x), so debt costs bite.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the picture is mixed: Kimco Realty is a large-cap real estate business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 27.0x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (56/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
