The Drivers Behind REIT Dividend Growth
This post takes a closer look at the underlying mechanics that allow Realty Income and other high-quality REITs to grow their distributions over decades without compromising sustainability. While Realty Income's dividend shows the familiar stair-step pattern of monthly increases over time, what's most important is that this growth appears supported by a steadily rising AFFO base. One of the most reliable indicators of a REIT's health is its occupancy rate. This metric tells you what percentage of a REIT's total properties are currently leased and producing rental income.

An Epic Comeback
US equity markets erased their post-Liberation Day sell-off this week - notching their best winning streak in two decades - as investors parsed surprisingly solid corporate earnings and employment data. A critical slate of employment data this week showed that job growth remained relatively strong in April, despite the extreme market volatility and plunge in consumer and business sentiment. The PCE Index - the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation - cooled to the lowest-level in almost five years, swinging the market narrative from "stagflation" and back towards "soft landing."

USRT: Binary Outcomes Based On Possible Nadir In CPI (Rating Downgrade)
The demand side has been fine, but the underperformance of some constituent parts shows that it's down to costs of capital and, therefore, inflation assumptions. The CPI reading was cool, and the continued fall in oil prices could mean meaningful help to upcoming readings that could counteract otherwise troublesome inflation expectations surveys. Inflation expectations are back to local records, and therefore we avoid iShares Core U.S. REIT ETF and other REIT bets for now, though we think the coming CPI will surprise markets.

Top REITs To Take On Trump Tariffs: Average Yield Over 5.5%
Equities rallied on Wednesday after Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on retaliatory tariffs, excluding China. 10-year Treasury yields have increased high amid fears of sticky inflation.

Are REITs The New Safe Haven?
REITs have remained resilient during the market crash due to their reasonable valuations and fundamental advantages, including isolation from tariffs and inflation hedging. The broader market crash is attributed to weak consumer sentiment, high inflation, tariff uncertainty, and tepid employment numbers, compounded by extreme valuations. REITs offer steady, predictable growth through long-term rental contracts and are trading at attractive valuations, especially among small and mid-cap REITs.
