Financial journalist opinion

Powell Pivot Sparks REIT Rebound

U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this week, surging into the weekend after surprisingly dovish commentary from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who hinted at imminent rate cuts. Powell used his final Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair to deliver a clear policy pivot, an unexpected reversal after months of insistence that tariff-related inflation warranted a hawkish framework. Markets were equally relieved by the policy-focused nature of Powell's speech amid speculation that the address may be used instead as a potential defiant sermon on central bank independence.

The State Of REITs: August 2025 Edition

After a strong June (+2.56%), the REIT sector recovery stalled in July (-1.17%) as REITs fell to a -6.42% year-to-date return.

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.

Behind The (Revised) Curve

U.S. equity markets fell sharply this week, while benchmark interest rates retreated to three-month lows, after revised employment data showed that job growth was far weaker than initially reported. The BLS payrolls report showed softer-than-expected hiring in July and the steepest two-month downward revisions to jobs growth since 2020, raising concern that the Fed may be "behind the curve." The downward revisions came days after Fed Chair Powell used it as the primary evidence for "solid" labor markets, which justified the FOMC's decision to keep rates in "restrictive" territory.

Return-To-Office Shift Fuels Potential Turnaround For Office REITs

Return to office mandates are providing a boost to REITs. Some deal activity has also been a tailwind. Tariffs and slowing residential rent growth remain headwinds.

Why Consider U.S. REITs Now?

Most US REITs make nearly 90% of their revenue domestically, compared to 72% for typical U.S. stocks. Healthcare, residential, and needs-based retail are less affected by trade disruptions, while office, lodging, and timber are more vulnerable. They're trading at a -2.79x earnings multiple discount to US stocks - one of the widest gaps in decades.

Powell Pressured As Inflation Cools

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record-highs this week after a critical slate of inflation data showed that tariff-driven inflation remains muted, while rumors of a potential Powell termination swirled. Supported by data this week showing that core inflation cooled to its slowest pace in over three years, the White House reignited the heat on the head of the Fed. Rebounding from modest declines last week, the S&P 500 advanced 0.6%, notching record highs in three of the past four weeks following a five-month drought.

RWR: Diversification In Name Only

SPDR® Dow Jones® REIT ETF offers sector diversification within REITs, but its top holdings are heavily concentrated in a few geographic regions. Nearly 30% of RWR's property exposure is tied to Texas, Florida, and California, increasing vulnerability to local economic or natural events. We remain neutral on broad REIT ETFs like RWR and prefer strategies that explicitly diversify property exposure.
