David Bujnicki, senior vice president of investor relations and strategy at Kimco Realty, discussed changes in the investor relations landscape on the REIT Report podcast in June 2026. He said the focus of investor relations has shifted from net asset value and portfolio management to earnings growth and cost of capital management. Bujnicki emphasized the importance of transparent disclosures, proactive outreach, and flexibility in adapting to shifting investor bases. He also expressed support for using artificial intelligence, describing it as a "dawn of a new era" and encouraging its adoption across the organization to increase productivity. On Kimco Realty's first quarter 2026 earnings call in May 2026, Bujnicki reported first quarter FFO of 46 cents per diluted share, attributing the result to higher pro rata net operating income driven by increased minimum rents. He noted the quarter benefited from approximately $7 million in accelerated below-market rent related to early lease terminations. Bujnicki also announced the company tightened its full year 2026 FFO outlook to a range of $1.81 to $1.84 per diluted share and raised its same-site NOI growth outlook to 2.8% to 3.5%, citing improved visibility into new rent commencements.
