Rates Retake The Spotlight

U.S. equity markets pulled back from record highs this week as long-term Treasury yields remained elevated, with renewed fiscal concerns after federal debt crossed $40T. Oil prices extended their rebound as stalled Iran negotiations and severely depressed Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic kept geopolitical risk elevated, pushing WTI crude another 5% higher to nearly $87/barrel. Housing data remained soft as starts, pending sales, and builder sentiment stayed depressed amid mortgage rates near 6.7%, but weak construction continued to reinforce the underlying housing shortage.

Winners Of REIT Earnings Season

REITs concluded a surprisingly strong earnings season, with 83 REITs - or 83% - raising full-year FFO guidance, just 4% lowering, and the average outlook increasing 1.4% from prior guidance. Strong Fundamentals, Weak Tape: REITs slipped modestly during earnings season despite widespread guidance raises, as renewed interest-rate pressure outweighed improving property-level trends and earnings momentum. Upside standouts included Hotel, Industrial, Data Center, Billboard, Office, Senior Housing/Skilled Nursing, and Single-Family Rental REITs, while Self-Storage finally showed a convincing pricing inflection.

US equity REITs have largely preferred issuing common stock through at-the-market offering programs as opposed to more standard follow-on equity offerings in recent years. US REITs raised $77.58 billion through common stock sold under their ATM programs between July 1, 2022, and March 31, 2026.

REITs Are Surging In 2026, But This 8.4% Dividend Is Still On Sale

Six months ago, a contrarian outlook predicted a rebound for high-yield real estate investment trusts (REITs) and their associated closed-end funds (CEFs), despite widespread market skepticism. This bullish stance was based on a new Fed chair, a strong US economy, and surging demand from new businesses and data centers.
