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.

Universal Health Realty Income Trust earns a 'Hold' rating, offering a 7.34% yield but trading near fair value. UHT's 40-year dividend growth streak remains intact, though a payout ratio of 85% limits future increases. Key risks include Medicaid reimbursement cuts from OBBBA and $359.5M floating-rate debt maturing in 2028.

UHT posts higher first-quarter 2026 profit and FFO on lower interest costs, lifts dividend, expands credit line and advances a pre-leased medical office project.
