Over 200 U.S. REITs and homebuilders have reported third-quarter earnings results over the past five weeks, providing critical information on the state of the commercial and residential real estate industry. Overall, REIT earnings results were marginally better than consensus expectations despite a handful of high-profile flops that overshadowed some impressive individual results across a balanced mix of sectors. Two-thirds of the sector (67 REITs) raised their full-year FFO outlook—above the historical average of 65%. Notable winners included Industrial, Senior Housing, Data Center, Retail, and Billboard REITs.

CBL reports sharp third-quarter 2025 earnings growth, lifted by property gains, leasing momentum and rising portfolio occupancy.

Indexes tracking real estate investment trust stocks outperformed the broader stock market indexes during the first week of November. The Dow Jones Equity All REIT closed the recent week up 1.40%, while the MSCI US REIT (RMZ) index rose 1.50%. All of the Dow Jones US real estate property sector indexes logged increases this past week.

U.S. equity markets stumbled this week as stretched tech valuations collided with weakening consumer and labor market data, while the economic drag and uncertainty from the ongoing government shutdown build. Now it's real? The shutdown has now halted fiscal flows into several sizable government benefits programs - a sudden onset of fiscal austerity that could have non-trivial disinflationary impacts. Snapping a three-week winning streak, the S&P 500 dipped 1.7%. REITs led as earnings season wrapped up with a handful of surprisingly solid reports from some unlikely leaders.

Roughly 70% of CBL's enterprise value is funded with net debt, with recent share price strength and a Q4 2025 disposal negating the impact of Q3 2025 acquisitions. CBL's tenant sales, occupancy, leasing spreads, and net operating income are all moving in the right direction. At the same time, the longest-lasting U.S. government shutdown in the crucial final quarter for retail REITs is almost certain to result in near-term operating weakness.
