After years of underperforming the S&P 500 index, and most especially the technology sector, real estate investment trusts (REITs) are back in the game.

Seven of the top fifteen Barron's Better Bets (BBB) dividend 'dogs' - including CAG, PFE, VZ, BMY, UDR, KIM, and KEY - are attractively priced for income investors. Analyst forecasts project 17.61% to 34.78% net gains for top-ten BBB dogs by September 2026, with an average estimated gain of 23.96% and lower-than-market volatility.

Since the Fed's initial rate hike in March 2022, REITs have lagged the S&P 500 by a whopping 55 percentage points, nearly 3x the magnitude of underperformance seen in the GFC.
