Federal Realty Raises Guidance After Strong Q3 2026 Results
Federal Realty Investment Trust reported solid third-quarter 2026 earnings and lifted its full-year guidance, signaling confidence in retail real estate demand.

The North Bethesda, Maryland-based real estate investment trust also raised its forward guidance, indicating management's optimism about the company's near-term trajectory.
