Capital-raising activity by US equity real estate investment trusts dipped in May. US equity REITs raised a total of $4.14 billion, down from $4.22 billion in April and declining nearly 54% from the same month in 2025, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. The specialty sector - encompassing advertising, casinos, communications, data centers, energy infrastructure, farmland and timber - led capital-raising activity among all US REIT segments through May 31.

REITs have refused to break in 2026 despite oil-driven inflation pressure, rising Treasury yields, and a Fed narrative that flipped from multiple rate cuts to potential hikes. The “Rates Up, REITs Down” regime has weakened, with REIT-rate correlations falling sharply as fundamentals, strategy, capital allocation, and valuation catalysts increasingly drive performance. M&A has helped break the rate-driven narrative, validating public-market discounts to NAV and proving that REITs can unlock value through consolidation, privatizations, and strategic alternatives.

The healthcare sector saw three new issuers, led by GMR Solutions' $478.7 million offering.

Data center REITs have delivered sector-leading, consistent outperformance, driven by secular tailwinds like AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation. DLR, EQIX, and IRM are trading at premium valuations, reflecting strong fundamentals, but current multiples suggest waiting for a pullback before adding exposure. American Tower is the top pick for new data center exposure, offering integrated connectivity and compute, trading at a discount with a 4% yield and significant upside potential.

Surging oil prices and hotter inflation reports reignited rate-hike concerns, sending Treasury yields to one-year highs as the Iran conflict remained stalemated despite the highly anticipated Trump-Xi summit.
