REITs present attractive value, thanks in part to a shortage of new supply and relative immunity to AI disruption, and are outperforming the S&P 500 YTD. This article identifies 25 high-yield REITs with current yields at least 75 basis points above the "no-risk" rate on Treasuries. The list is then screened for dividend safety, FFO growth, and balance sheet quality to arrive at a final list of 5 companies, each offering safe yields above 5.25%.

Not Every REIT Joined The Rally: Part 2 focuses on laggards and in-line performers - sectors where recovery timelines slipped, results underwhelmed, or elevated rates exposed lingering balance sheet issues. Weakness centered on Farmland, Commercial Mortgage, Lab Space, and Self-Storage REITs, where delayed troughs, credit provisions, book-value pressure, weak rents, and refinancing constraints persisted. Mortgage Stress Hasn't Fully Cleared: Commercial mortgage REITs still faced multifamily bridge-loan and office credit stress, while residential mortgage REITs saw book values pressured by rate volatility and uneven dividend-coverage.

REIT earnings results were considerably better than consensus expectations, with 58 REITs - or 59% - raising full-year FFO guidance, well above the typical Q1 raise rate of 40-45%. REITs have extended their year-to-date outperformance despite the recent jump in interest rates, as better earnings results and improving property-level trends helped offset renewed macro pressure. Upside standouts included Hotel, Senior Housing, Data Center, Billboard, Cold Storage, Net Lease, and Retail REITs. Residential REITs saw improving rent growth trends as supply growth finally eases.

U.S. equity markets advanced for a fifth straight week - their longest winning streak since 2024 - as strong earnings, resilient data, and hopes for lasting Iran peace fueled optimism. Investors looked through another oil-price surge and inflationary pressure, focusing instead on corporate resilience and economic strength despite a complex macro backdrop shaped by geopolitical and policy uncertainty. The Fed held rates steady in an unusually fractured 8-4 vote, while Powell's plan to remain on the Board broke precedent and raised politically charged succession questions.
