10 Stocks I'm Buying As REITs Have Never Looked So Good
The recent market selloff, driven by the Fed's revised rate-cut forecast, has made high-quality REITs attractively priced for long-term dividend growth investors. Despite poor stock price performance, REITs have strong fundamentals, with favorable earnings yield spreads and dividend yields compared to the broader market. REITs are undervalued due to being treated as bond proxies, but their strong commercial real estate fundamentals and historical outperformance post-Fed rate cuts suggest a buying opportunity.

Sector Spotlight: Industrial REITs - Still A Real Estate Darling?
The industrial REIT sector has seen significant price corrections due to changing macroeconomic factors, making current pricing more investible. Investor enthusiasm has waned, reflected in falling AFFO multiples from 35.5x in 2021 to 20.5x recently. Despite strong demand, new supply has suppressed rent growth and occupancy, leading to tepid SSNOI growth.

9 Stocks I'm Buying As The Market Reaches A Rare Level Of Speculative Fervor
The U.S. stock market is highly valued, driven by Big Tech and AI investments, with speculative fervor reminiscent of the late 1990s. Some REITs, like W.P. Carey, face challenges due to poor capital allocation and strategic missteps, leading to underperformance compared to tech stocks. Many other REITs, however, have been beaten down due to short-term supply headwinds and their treatment as bond proxies.

12 REITs Poised For Potential Outperformance
As REIT prices rise, high-yield opportunities dwindle, making this a good time to focus on dividend growth for better long-term returns. Dividend growth stocks, despite lower initial yields, can surpass higher-yielding stocks over time, offering better yield on cost. Dividend growers often outperform the REIT average in total returns, driven by strong AFFO growth and superior gains in stock price.

The 8 Stocks And 1 ETF On My Buy List Going Into December
The market outlook for 2025 is uncertain, with a wide range of possibilities in GDP growth, inflation, and job growth. Government spending cuts led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE initiative are unlikely to meet their ambitious $2 trillion goal due to mandatory spending constraints. Significant cash reserves, like Berkshire Hathaway's $325 billion, suggest potential market caution, but a drop in the Fed Funds Rate below 4% could boost REITs and bonds.
