Disinflation Dividend: REIT Earnings Scorecard
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.

Lamar Advertising: Resilient Amid Subdued Marketing Spending
Lamar Advertising Company remains resilient in a tough ad market, with local/regional strength offsetting national weakness and a secure 5% dividend yield. Digital billboard conversion is in its early stages but offers a long-term growth catalyst, with digital units generating 5x revenue versus static boards. Balance sheet strength enables continued M&A, as seen with the Verde Outdoor acquisition, while leverage remains well below target levels.
