MAC vs SPG
These two companies, Simon Property Group (SPG) and the Macerich Company (MAC), are real estate investment trusts (REITs) which invest primarily in shopping mall properties. SPG is the largest owner of mall properties in the US, and it once made an offer to buy out the smaller MAC. At the time, the offer was rejected, with MAC shareholders claiming that SPG was undervaluing the company with their offer which would have totaled about $22B with the assumption of debt. One might wonder if they regret that decision, since MAC’s enterprise value at the time of this writing is about $8B. The performance of both companies in the past year has been comparable in terms of price action, as one might expect with their holdings being so similar, but SPG’s dividend is slightly more enticing.

Industries' Descriptions
@Real Estate Investment Trusts (+2.35% weekly)A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company any that owns, and in most cases, operates, income-producing real estate – ranging from office and apartment buildings to warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels and timberlands. Some REITs are involved in financing real estate. Equity REITs invest in and own properties, while mortgage REITs own and invest in property mortgages. REITs are required by law to pay out at least 90% of their annual taxable income (excluding capital gains) to shareholders in the form of dividends. Some REITs could be more cyclical than others; for example, when an economy is undergoing a recession, hotel REITs could be more vulnerable, compared to say healthcare REIT given that healthcare needs are less likely to depend on economic cycles. American Tower Corporation, Prologis, Inc. and Crown Castle International Corp are some of the biggest REIT companies in the U.S.
