High-yield 'mousetrap' REITs consistently underperform, with significant risk of dividend cuts and capital loss, as evidenced by recent 12-month returns lagging VNQ by over 1,000 bps. Dividend Safety scores are critical; REITs rated F face a 40% chance of a cut within 12 months, often resulting in sharp share price declines. Key danger signals include high payout ratios, weak revenues, and heavy debt loads.

U.S. equities slid to four-month lows as the escalating Iran war rattled markets, sending oil to three-year highs and interest rates higher amid tanker attacks, shipping disruptions, and intensifying strikes. Brent Crude jumped above $100 as attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and tanker explosions threatened global oil flows, fueling inflation fears and keeping investors on edge. The White House deployed emergency supply measures—including Russian crude purchases and potential strategic reserve releases—but markets remain skeptical they can offset disruptions to global energy flows.

GREAT NECK, N.Y., March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BRT APARTMENTS CORP.

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance as surprisingly cool inflation data and soft employment data were tempered by a hawkish pushback from Fed officials and skeptics clinging to inflation fears. The critical CPI report showed inflation easing to four-year lows, a heavily criticized report that may, ironically, be the most accurate inflation reading in several years due to collection limitations. The report "zeroed out" shelter inflation due to incomplete collection, combined with an antiquated and lagged sampling methodology, effectively "correcting" its data by removing the most persistent source of distortion.

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BRT APARTMENTS CORP. (NYSE: BRT) announced today that it has successfully completed the refinancing of three mortgages mentioned in the Company's most recent 10-Q filing.

In October, we (my wife and I) received a dividend income total of $3,948.78. Crushing it for an off-month – thanks to Vanguard (VOO) and Fidelity (FXAIX) for paying in October. We had quite a few dividend increases this month. So fortunate to be getting raises from companies and having the stocks of companies I own do all of the work. In total, dividend increases created $92.48 in additional passive dividend income.

Most asset classes are not offering any discounts this Black Friday. REITs are the exceptions, with many offering up to 50% discounts. But possibly not for much longer. Here is why this could be your last chance to secure these bargains.

BRT Apartments Corp. offers a 6.9% yield and a 67% payout ratio, but faces headwinds from Sun Belt oversupply and higher refinancing rates. BRT's AFFO per share is expected to erode as low-interest mortgages roll over, limiting future dividend sustainability and price appreciation. Insider buying remains strong, but muted rent growth, flat occupancy, and limited analyst coverage temper enthusiasm for BRT shares.
