Description: PECO Phillips Edison

Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: PECO) is a U.S. real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers. The company manages a national portfolio of well-occupied centers featuring a mix of national and regional retailers that provide necessity-based goods and services. Its top grocery anchors include Kroger, Publix, Albertsons, and Ahold Delhaize. As of June 30, 2026, PECO managed 330 shopping centers, including 302 wholly owned centers spanning roughly 33.9 million square feet across 31 states, along with 28 additional centers held through institutional joint ventures. The company is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has been operating since its incorporation in 1991, going public in July 2021. As a Retail REIT, PECOs business model focuses on generating rental income from necessity-based retail tenants, which historically have demonstrated more stable foot traffic and occupancy compared to discretionary retail formats.
