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.

3 Triple Net REITs Positioned For Average 10% Returns

Triple net REITs are now highly attractive due to higher cap rates, strong rent escalators, and notably cheap valuations versus the broader REIT sector. Cap rates have reset to 7%-9.5%, and escalators of 2%-3.5% are back, driving long-term accretive growth for triple net REITs. Valuations are compelling, with average yields of 6.1% and payout ratios at 76%, setting up double-digit total return potential.

Dividend Cut Alert: High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks Getting Risky

Dividend growth stocks are often viewed as some of the safest income investments. However, dividend growth does not guarantee that the dividend is safe. I share some popular high-yield dividend growth stocks whose dividend payouts are at risk of getting cut.

How I've Built A Monster Passive Income Portfolio (And What I'm Buying Now)

I remain committed to dividend growth investing, adapting my strategy to balance growth, yield, and defensiveness amid demographic and economic shifts. My 'galley ship' portfolio model uses ballast (cash), rowers (compounders), and sails (high-yielders) to optimize for both income growth and stability. Recent portfolio adjustments focus on defensive, recession-resistant stocks and ETFs, emphasizing passive income growth regardless of market cycles.

W.P. Carey: The Case For Buying, Holding, Or Selling (Rating Downgrade)

W. P. Carey offers strong fundamentals, inflation-linked income, and a ~10% ROI — compelling reasons for long-term, income-focused investors to consider buying. With a 25.6% total return since my initial coverage and shares now fairly valued, holding may appeal to investors seeking portfolio stability and peace of mind. For opportunistic investors chasing higher upside elsewhere, WPC's limited short-term multiple expansion may justify rotating into deeper-value REITs.
