2 Of My Favorite Net Lease REITs Might Surprise You
The net lease sector, with a market cap of ~$100B, has significant growth potential in diverse sub-categories like health & fitness, casinos, and data centers. Essential Properties and Agree Realty show attractive investment spreads and growth potential, but Realty Income offers the best valuation and defensive business model. Realty Income's shares are trading at 13.0x P/AFFO with a 5.8% dividend yield, making it a strong all-weather pick for long-term investors.

2 REITs To Add To Your Christmas List And When To Buy For A Margin Of Safety
Agree Realty and VICI Properties are high-quality REITs with strong fundamentals and impressive total returns, but currently offer little margin of safety due to their run-up in share prices. Investing with a margin of safety helps manage market volatility; for example, my cost basis of $53 for Realty Income has helped me stomach volatility and the stock's underperformance. I recommend assigning stocks specific roles in your portfolio; for example, Starwood Property for stable dividends, PepsiCo for moderate growth, and Visa for high growth, balancing income and growth.

Fed Ahead
Ahead of the Federal Reserve's critical interest rate decision next week, U.S. equity markets snapped a three-week winning streak as benchmark interest rates jumped to the cusp of five-month highs. Lukewarm CPI and PPI inflation reports were "good enough" to solidify another Fed rate cut next week, but "sticky" trends called into question the outlook for continued easing in 2025. After setting a series of fresh record-highs in the prior week, the S&P 500 slipped 0.6% this week, but still remains on pace for its best year since 2019.
