Disinflation Dividend: REIT Earnings Scorecard

A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.

Credit Rating For The Unrated REITs (Part 1): Saul Centers, Inc.

Saul Centers, Inc.'s preferred shares offer attractive yields (7.46% and 7.07%) but lack credit ratings from major agencies. Our credit analysis, using Moody's methodology, results in a weak adjusted credit score of B1 for Saul Centers. Given the weak credit profile, I do not recommend buying BFS preferreds; better-yielding, lower-risk alternatives exist in the market.

The Inflation That Wasn't

US equity markets retreated from the cusp of record-highs this week as encouraging inflation data showing surprisingly muted tariff-related inflation was spoiled by a sudden escalation in Middle East tensions. The critical CPI and PPI reports both showed cooler-than-expected inflation in May for a third-straight month, as lower oil prices and moderating shelter costs more than offset the tariff uplift. Upsetting the key disinflationary offset that has kept overall inflation suppressed in recent months, the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel sent global oil prices surging to four-month highs.

Disparate Property Supply In Tampa Creates Selective Opportunity

Tampa's strong job and population growth make it a prime real estate location, but supply and demand dynamics are crucial for investment decisions. The high housing supply in Tampa has led to a temporary downturn in home prices, while limited retail space has driven up retail rents. Other property sectors have limited supply and much stronger outlooks within Tampa.
