Winners Of REIT Earnings Season
In Part 2 of our Earnings Recap, we present a sector-by-sector breakdown of the Winners of REIT Earnings Season, discussing incremental positives/negatives and noting the individual standouts. Healthcare REITs were the leaders this earnings season, with results showing robust momentum in senior housing fundamentals, while tenant operator issues improved across other healthcare sub-sectors. Results from Net Lease, Casino, and Residential Mortgage REITs - several of the most rate-sensitive sectors - were also surprisingly steady despite the interest rate turbulence in late 2024.

REIT Slope Adjustment Has Overshadowed Future Value Gains
Despite recent price declines, REITs' future value has increased due to higher rental rates, increased property values, and reduced competing supply. Higher market demanded returns have steepened the slope, causing REIT prices to drop despite improved fundamentals and future value. The price drop is driven by higher expected returns, not impaired future value, making current REIT valuations a buying opportunity.

REITs Rally As Rates Tumble
US equity markets declined for the fourth week in the past five after a frenetic slate of geopolitical headlines and economic data indicated a sluggish start to 2025 for global growth. The Atlanta Fed's updated growth forecast indicated a -1.5% contraction in first-quarter GDP, while PCE data showed the first monthly decline in personal spending in nearly two years. Buoyed by the interest rate retreat, real estate equities were also a notable source of strength this week as REIT earnings season wrapped up with a surprisingly solid slate of results.

Not All 2% Spreads Are Created Equal
Real estate investment spreads are healthier today with higher cap rates and cost of capital, enhancing long-term returns despite similar nominal spreads. Higher cap rates lead to more accretive organic growth, reinvestment, dividends, debt reduction, and buybacks compared to the low-rate environment of early 2022. The current 8% cap rate and 6% cost of capital environment are more favorable for REITs than the previous 6% and 4% scenarios.

What We're Watching This REIT Earnings Season
Real estate earnings season kicks into gear this week, and over the next month, we'll hear results from 175 equity REITs, 40 mortgage REITs, and dozens of housing industry companies. Following a year-end tumble that lingered into early 2025, REITs enter earnings season with a bit of upside momentum as Treasury Yields eased from the cusp of two-decade highs. Largely immune from trade/tariff and AI-related risk, REITs are coming back into favor after three years of historic underperformance, which has driven valuations to unusually "cheap" levels.

The End Of An Era
U.S. equity and bond markets posted their best week since the November election, as benchmark interest rates tumbled after inflation data showed surprisingly muted pressures in December. Closing the books on the Biden era, the Trump Administration assumes the reins next week of a U.S. economy that has seemingly "held it together" through a myriad of headwinds. The worst four years of inflation and the first decline in "real" consumer incomes since the late 1970s paradoxically coincided with a robust period of job growth and historically low unemployment.

Fire And Ice
US equity markets tumbled this week while benchmark interest rates surged to the cusp of multi-decade highs after a critical slate of employment data showed surprisingly buoyant labor market trends. Prompting a hawkish re-think of Fed policy expectations, inflation worries were further inflamed by surging energy prices amid frigid temperatures across the Central and East, while L.A. battled destructive wildfires. Real estate equities - the most rate-sensitive sector - were significant laggards this week as rate cut expectations soured, with REITs extending their year-end slide into early 2025.

REITs Say 'Good Riddance' To 2024
U.S. equity markets sputtered in a choppy final week of 2024 as investors returned from the holidays with trepidation following the best two-year run for the S&P 500 since 1997-1998. The S&P 500 finished lower by 0.5% on the week, requiring a late-week rebound to pare steep declines following a historically ugly stretch of losses in the Christmas-to-New-Year period. Treasury yields posted a weekly decline for the first time in a month, pressured by a relatively weak slate of economic data, including soft PMI employment metrics and mortgage demand.

REITs Remain On Naughty List
U.S. equity markets rebounded after their worst week since November, while interest rates swelled to fresh seven-month highs as investors parsed data showing relatively strong retail and travel demand trends. Recovering from a slide of over 2% last week, the S&P 500 advanced 0.7%, lifting its year-to-date gains to over 26%. The Nasdaq 100 extended its 2024 gains to 28%. Real estate equities underperformed again following punishing declines last week on the heels of the Fed's hawkish pivot, and remain significant laggards for a second-straight year with muted 4% gains.
