S&P left the company's "BBB-" corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings unchanged. That is the lowest investment grade rating before a company's credit is considered "junk."

"The outlook revision reflects credit metrics that have not returned to their previous stronger levels, which reduces the potential for an upgrade in the near term given our expectation that retailers and their landlords will face increasing headwinds this year," credit analyst Elizabeth Campbell said.

Equity One shares added 50 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $24.55 Monday.
