Risk Radar (year-over-year Risk Factors)

Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31view filing on EDGAR →

Regulatory and operational risk expanded materially across five themes, driven by new tenant-protection mandates, commercial leasing vulnerabilities, privacy/AI obligations, and uninsurable employment litigation exposure. Two easing items — REIT deduction permanence and pandemic risk removal — are real but modest offsets that do not counterbalance the breadth of new disclosures. The net picture is a meaningfully wider risk perimeter, concentrated in compliance, litigation, and property operations.
