CHICAGO , Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (NYSE: ELS) (referred to herein as the "Company," "we," "us," and "our") announced today that the Company's third quarter 2025 earnings will be released on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 after market close.

Equity LifeStyle Properties offers durable income and long-term growth, trading near its 52-week low with a 3.3% dividend yield. ELS benefits from strong tenant retention, limited new supply, and favorable demographics, supporting steady FFO and NOI growth. It maintains a robust balance sheet, disciplined expense management, and a well-covered and growing dividend.

Building a resilient retirement portfolio requires a mix of disruption-proof income from REITs, midstream energy, and high-yielding assets, plus growth stocks and ETFs. Current market challenges—AI disruption, weak job market, inflation risks—make long-term planning difficult, but also highlight the need for self-reliance and diversification. Core portfolio holdings should include large, proven REITs, natural gas midstream companies, select high-yield stocks, BDCs, preferred equity ETFs, and actively managed income funds.

Long-term investing works best when you stay put. Selling in downturns often means missing the best days that drive wealth. In a world of rapid AI disruption, I want my money in areas where disruption risks are minimal and income streams stay reliable. I've found two places that offer bulletproof income, essential assets, and resilience, exactly what I'd trust for retirement security.

I believe the US is the top real estate bet, politics aside. My portfolio is 100% North American, mostly US stocks, due to their edge over global markets. REITs are undervalued after weak returns, with historic S&P 500 discounts. Low correlation and rising NOI make them ideal for income and diversification. My favorite income spot: three picks with strong balance sheets and strategic edges in resilient sectors, poised for long-term outperformance.

Tech sector capital investment is surging, but enterprise AI adoption is showing disappointing returns, with 95% seeing zero ROI per an MIT study. This disconnect raises concerns about who will ultimately pay for the ongoing AI investment if enterprise customers remain slow to realize benefits. Recent underperformance in growth tech stocks reflects these doubts, while value-oriented dividend stocks have demonstrated resilience and defensiveness.

Inflation is in a tug of war: Disinflationary housing offsets inflationary tariffs, but tariffs will increasingly push consumer prices higher over the next year. The economy and stock market are both K-shaped, with affluent consumers and AI-related stocks thriving while others struggle or stagnate. Despite these divergences, I remain committed to value-oriented dividend growth investing, focusing on stocks with strong yields and growth potential.

A surprising solid REIT earnings season wrapped up this week. Of the 100 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 62% raised their outlook - above the historical 55% average. Disinflation was a surprisingly common thread across second-quarter results, with the majority of the upside revisions being driven by improved expense expectations - the highest quantity of expense reductions ever. Healthcare REITs were notable upside standouts as senior housing fundamentals remained stellar, while skilled nursing REITs received some good news on the policy front via healthy CMS Medicare rate increases.
