Long-term bond yields persist despite pressure. But investors looking for income can still find plenty of attractive opportunities with dividend-paying stocks that have healthy yields. “23 stocks pay huge dividends. They should be a better bet than treasuries.” —Barron's Weekly reported in October, 2024. It's still true. Steven Wieting, strategist at CitiWealth, told Barron's that a growing dividend is a benefit for shareholders and identifies companies with strong balance sheets.“Nobody can fake a dividend,” he said.

UDR shares outpace the industry as strong apartment demand, AI-driven retention gains and monthly dividends support investor interest.

Apartment REITs benefit from rising mortgage rates and affordability constraints, as more households are forced to rent rather than buy. Supply pressures in multifamily are easing, with construction starts slowing and absorption now exceeding new deliveries, setting up for improved fundamentals. The AVB/EQR merger creates a $50B market cap leader, aiming for scale, cost synergies, and enhanced capital access in a challenging rate environment.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UDR, Inc. (NYSE: UDR), a leading multifamily real estate investment trust, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized increasing its share repurchase program by 25 million shares, effective immediately. This increase gives the Company the ability to repurchase a total of approximately 30 million shares, which equates to more than $1 billion at current share price levels. Share repurchases under this program may be made from time to time in open-market pu.

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.

UDR remains a "Hold," with shares underperforming due to weak rent trends and sector sentiment despite its legacy market focus. Q1 results were stable: FFO of $0.62 met expectations, revenue grew 1%, and occupancy stayed healthy at 96.6%. Management reaffirmed 2024 FFO guidance of $2.47–$2.57; dividend coverage is strong at ~1.45x, with a 4.8% yield and monthly payouts.
