REITs Lead On Earnings Uplift
US equity markets posted a mixed performance this week, while benchmark interest rates rebounded from two-month lows, as investors saw grounds for Fed hawkishness across a critical slate of employment data. The U.S. economy added 143k jobs in January. Upward revisions to prior months and strong wage growth metrics indicated that labor markets remain "healthy" at minimum, and perhaps even "tight." Following a decline of 1% last week sparked by "DeepSeek" concerns, the S&P 500 retreated by 0.2%, relinquishing an early week rally. The Small-Cap and Mid-Cap indexes dipped 1%.

2 REITs That May Perform Poorly Under Trump
I'm optimistic about the economy under a second Donald Trump administration, citing reduced corporate taxes, tariffs, and deregulation as catalysts for boosting REIT shares. The new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, aims to cut federal expenses, potentially impacting agencies like USPS, IRS, and FBI, and their real estate needs. Due to DOGE's potential restructuring, I'm putting Postal Realty and Easterly Government on hold, citing risks from their outsized exposure to government tenants.

Easterly Government Properties Stock Price Got Far Too Cheap
Easterly Government Properties, Inc.'s 9% dividend yield appears sustainable, with a clear path to full CAD coverage within 24 months through rent escalators and strategic acquisitions. The stock's decline is due to misclassification with troubled office REITs and overblown fears of government spending cuts. DEA's long-term government leases and decentralized property locations mitigate risks, suggesting a potential 50% upside as market fears subside.
