Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $209.44, market value $79.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.8×** (5-yr avg 17.2×, 3-yr avg 17.6×). Simon Property Group Inc. trades at 14.8× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 17.2×. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 31.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.33**. A PEG of 0.33 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 11.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 11.5×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 15.4×**. The shares trade at 15.4× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 21.6×**. Enterprise value is 21.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.0%** (5-yr avg 7.2%). Free cash flow equals 4.0% of the market value, below its five-year average of 7.2%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 6.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 47.4%**. 47.4% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 84.3%**. 84.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 103.0%**. A 103.0% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 7.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 7.9%.
- **Return on assets: 13.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 13.3% of profit.

- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 6.7%** (3-yr 6.3%/yr, 5-yr 6.7%/yr). Revenue grew 6.7% over the last year, against 6.7% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 95.2%** (3-yr 29.5%/yr, 5-yr 31.6%/yr). Earnings per share rose 95.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 0.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 0.9% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 5.46**. Debt is 5.46 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet, which is normal for real estate.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.6×**. It would take 5.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.00**. A Z-score of 2.00 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
