U.S. equity markets slumped this week - while interest rates tumbled to multi-year lows- as investors weighed unresolved AI questions and a flight to safety sparked by escalating Middle East tensions. The defensive "risk-off" posture took sharper relevance over the weekend after a dramatic U.S.-led strike of Iranian leadership that sought to topple the Islamic regime. The S&P 500 slipped 0.6%, while Small-Caps slid nearly 2%. The policy-sensitive 2-Year Treasury Yield dipped to the lowest level since August 2022. Oil prices swelled to seven-month highs.

APLE reported solid Q4 results, with 74.1% occupancy in 2025, a P/AFFO of 10.84, and continued share buybacks, despite a 7% drop in Modified FFO. Guidance for 2025 is conservative, with potential upside from industry tailwinds, like the FIFA World Cup and normalization post-government shutdown.
