NYSE issues a pre-market daily advisory direct from the trading floor. NEW YORK, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) provides a daily pre-market update directly from the NYSE Trading Floor.

REITs deserve a larger allocation today, driven by attractive valuations, structural demand, and reliable income across diverse sectors. Data center REITs like Equinix, Digital Realty, and Iron Mountain benefit from AI and cloud-driven demand, with strong growth and supply scarcity. Industrial REITs such as Prologis, EastGroup, and STAG Industrial offer structural growth, with EastGroup favored for its Sunbelt focus and robust internal growth.

Weyerhaeuser (WY), STAG Industrial (STAG), and Invitation Homes (INVH) are trading at steep discounts to the value of their underlying real estate assets. These high-quality, well-managed REITs are priced as if their entity value is negative, despite strong operational metrics and investment-grade balance sheets. Market mispricing is likely driven by interest rate sensitivity fears, while actual asset values have risen and REITs' balance sheets remain robust.

Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Stag (STAG) have what it takes?

BOSTON, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- STAG Industrial, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:STAG) today announced that the Company will release its first quarter 2026 operating and financial results after market close on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. The Company will host its quarterly earnings conference call on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Monthly dividend stocks offer something most income investments cannot: a paycheck every single month.

STAG Industrial offers a well-occupied, geographically diversified industrial REIT portfolio with robust dividend coverage and consistent acquisition-driven growth. STAG's core funds from operations grew 11% year-over-year in 2025, supported by $449.1M in acquisitions and rental rate increases. The REIT's dividend coverage ratio reached 1.8X in Q4, but dividend growth remains muted despite strong FFO performance.

EastGroup Properties has increased its dividend for 14 consecutive years. Stag Industrial distributes its dividends monthly.

While many Baby Boomers have enjoyed a long bull market over the past 35 years, there is a point when income becomes more critical than stock appreciation.

Micro caps (-6.12%) badly underperformed again in February. 71.71% of REIT securities had a positive total return in February.
