SL Green Realty Corp.'s recent stock offering aligns with several key financial metrics and trends highlighted by InvestingPro. The company's market capitalization stands at $5.19 billion, reflecting its significant presence in the real estate sector. Despite a challenging year with revenue declining by 2.98% over the last twelve months, SLG has shown resilience, with its stock price experiencing a remarkable 149.92% total return over the past year.

InvestingPro Tips suggest that while analysts anticipate a sales decline in the current year, net income is expected to grow. This could explain the company's decision to raise capital through a stock offering, potentially positioning itself for future growth opportunities or debt reduction as mentioned in their plans for the proceeds.

The company's financial health is further underscored by its ability to maintain dividend payments for 28 consecutive years, with a current dividend yield of 3.77%.
