Easterly Government Properties: Attractive Entry Point
DEA shares are oversold due to DOGE budget cut fears, now trading at a deep discount versus peers, offering a compelling entry point. DEA's core business—leasing mission-critical properties to the U.S. government—remains stable, with long-term leases and built-in inflation protection. The recent dividend cut, while unpopular, aligns payout ratios with industry best practices and ensures the 7.8% yield is sustainable.

Easterly Government Properties Trades At A Rare Discount - Clear Buy With Compelling Growth Setup
DEA is misunderstood; negative sentiment is extreme, but fundamentals remain strong and the new, lower dividend is both attractive and safe. DEA's modern, mission-critical government properties and long-term, non-cancellable leases provide predictable income and growth opportunities in a fragmented market. Valuation is compelling: DEA trades below tangible book value and at a low price-to-FFO, with management positioning for growth and capitalizing on government efficiency trends.

The More It Drops, The More I Buy
High-yield stocks with recent price dips can offer value, but require careful analysis to avoid value traps from structural or balance sheet issues. I share two very sustainable 8-9% yields that look highly compelling after their recent dips. I detail why they offer mid to high teen annualized total return potential alongside relatively low long-term risk.

An Identifiable Inflection Point For REITs
Dividend cut announcements trigger sharp REIT sell-offs, regardless of whether cuts are forced by trouble or are responsible capital allocation decisions. I consistently find opportunity in buying REITs after responsible dividend cuts, as the market often overreacts despite strong underlying fundamentals. Historical examples like WPC, BRX, KIM, WSR, and GOOD show significant price recovery after responsible cuts, offering attractive entry points for investors.
