High-yield REIT CEFs often carry hidden risks that investors overlook. Leverage and high fees can significantly reduce long-term returns. A selective REIT portfolio may deliver better risk-adjusted performance.

Equinix (EQIX) closed the most recent trading day at $1, moving +1.58% from the previous trading session.

Cerebras CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman made an appearance on the All-In Podcast to describe an AI infrastructure buildout so lopsided that compute suppliers are still racing to catch up with orders placed months ago.

While the Federal Reserve has held rates steady since its December 2025 meeting, investor expectations for future interest rate decisions have shifted drastically over the course of the year. Early expectations for 2026 rate cuts quickly faded as stubborn inflation fueled interest rate volatility, heavily impacting real estate ETFs.

The AI buildout has turned the old-school data center real estate investment trusts (REITs) from a niche real estate subsector into one of the clearest ways to own the physical infrastructure behind the artificial intelligence boom, and the numbers are starting to back that up.

REITs are poised for 6-7% earnings growth in coming years, outpacing the historical 3-4% average, with multiple sectors showing accelerating fundamentals. Shopping centers, healthcare (notably senior housing), and data centers are standout sectors, benefiting from robust private market demand, supply constraints, and AI-driven tailwinds. Office REITs see improving leasing, especially from AI-related demand, while quality bifurcation widens; overweight positions in BXP and CUZ reflect this thesis.

Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Equinix (EQIX) have what it takes?

Equinix (EQIX 0.54%) may look like a data-center REIT, but the real story could be its interconnection moat. As enterprise AI moves from experiments into production, companies may need secure physical locations to connect data, clouds, networks, and AI models.
