Developments:
Some Wall Street analysts stopped recommending Saul Centers last year as profits declined 8 percent and revenue barely increased. The company's problem was pretty simple—rental income was stagnant because the REIT did not expand aggressively.

Saul Centers continued to renovate and expand its biggest shopping center, Seven Corners in Falls Church. The company has gutted the mall and reoriented the stores so that time-pressed shoppers can enter each store directly from the parking lot.
