What To Watch This REIT Earnings Season

Rate Shock: REITs enter earnings season on their back foot amid a renewed surge in long-term rates, facing a materially different cost-of-capital and financing environment than just three months ago. The rate surge is again stressing highly leveraged borrowers, particularly across private markets. Public REITs are better positioned, but remain exposed through refinancing, tenant credit, and equity valuations. Higher rates have brought an important silver lining: years of expensive capital are finally curbing construction, with shrinking pipelines beginning to support occupancy, rents, and landlord pricing power.

AI Reality Check, Inflation Stress Test

U.S. equities stumbled as AI-bubble concerns overwhelmed otherwise resilient fundamentals, while September inflation ran hot but remained heavily energy-driven, complicating the Fed's path without clearly forcing an October hike. Treasuries rallied sharply despite hotter CPI and PPI, with the 2-Year reversing from 4.95% to 4.71% as dovish Fed signals and risk-off flows pushed October hike odds. Oil reemerged as the key macro pressure point, with WTI surging above $100 as Saudi and Hormuz risks intensified, threatening to reverse recent relief in gasoline and diesel prices.

A Switch From AWP To RQI May Be Warranted

abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund to Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund has underperformed RQI over the long run. RQI trades at a 9% discount to NAV, while AWP trades at a premium, despite RQI's stronger long-term NAV performance. AWP's 13.6% yield is unsustainable, with 10-year total returns at just 4.38%, whereas RQI's 7.11% annualized return aligns better with its 9.7% yield.

The Rate Shock That Didn't Break REITs

REITs are refusing to break despite another rate shock: the 10-Year Treasury reached 5%, yet REITs remain higher by roughly 7% in 2026 as the once-dominant rate correlation weakens further. Solid fundamentals are increasingly doing the heavy lifting, with healthy property-level cash flows, improving earnings visibility, strong dividend coverage, and better balance sheets helping REITs absorb the rate shock. Cooling supply increasingly reinforces fundamentals: excluding Data Centers, REIT development pipelines are roughly 40% below their 2022 peak and 2019 levels; Data Centers remain the exception at seven times 2019 levels.
